Got them from Germany yesterday after paying for them on Tuesday!

These are the proper MHW items, so no flashing reverse lights!!

Opinions!? I wanted to go smoked, but they seem harder to get hold of, and MHW have stopped making them!

I like them. They do look a little pink though, maybe just the light.

How much are they to buy from Germany?

Not bad then!

They look a whole lot better than the originals! Smoked would have looked Uber cool on the black Touring though... 8)

Not bad, but think they would definitely look better with a white/clear reversing light.

Is that a dint on the tailgate to the right of the roundel?

They look good but I prefer the normal lights with just the red indicators. Not too keen on the pink reverse lights.

To be honest, I've always considered the tourers to be rather ugly at the back. That one has about changed my mind though, between the wheels, kit, red lights, and the nice exhaust.

Not bad, not bad at all.

The red definately makes a big difference.
