It's ok really. But looks a bit 'barry'.

Like I said, get the proper MHW ones, or leave it standard! (or red indicators)

Move the ///M to the other side :wink:

If you like them fairy nuff.

Not really my cup of earl grey.

Standard, with red indicators is my fave.

Or the MHW smoked ones, but they don't suit all colours.

I expected a stronger reaction than that :mad:

In chrome they really are shocking, I've got black ones, great at night but sh*te in the daytime:

After a couple more looks at Simon's car the tints really aren't that bad, I know I'm not really in a position to comment on rear lights but I like them, they're something different.

All reds are pretty common really, although that's what I'll be changing mine for :D

The ones on yours are definately better than the chromies.

They are kind of modern I guess, and a bit different from the norm.

The split red/clear ones which I've seen a couple of pictures of look good. But I think they're only for the earlier models at the moment....

:(

I'm pretty sure you could get them for the later models when I was looking for new lights, but I didn't really like the look of them.

I was just after something that'd look good at night really as I think the standard ones look :gay: in the dark.

The headlights are proper Smoked Hellas, bout 300 quid.

People are DIY doing them now though. Look in the tech section.

Simon - i reckon they'd look better on my black touring personally! Are they legal though? What are you doing with your all-red ones out of interest?

I really like those tinted lights. I was considering getting them all round for mine.

Not sure they'd suit a dark red car though.
