Its even hard for a diamond black car to pull off totally smoked MHW lights. Standard is god-li-ness.
Opinions on rear lights please......

by all means keep them on but i recommend either changing the gasket around the aftermarket lights for the original gaskets of your standard lights or apply a small amount of silicone gasket sealer around the lights to prevent rain leaking in. that seems to be a very common problem with these. pay particular attention to the edges at the corners .if you dont i recommend getting a couple of small fish to brighten up the little ponds youll have in the tool wells

Yo Rushy!!!! Those lights look sweet on your car!!! Can i ask where you got them from???
Already got the same ones (smoked/red) on my touring, but the passenger side one is fubar (cracked and filled with crap!!!).
Spent ages trying to find them the first time round and can't find any for sale at all now
Just need the passenger side one really, but would buy another pair if i could find some anywhere!!
Would appreciate a pm if you know somewhere that's got them in stock!!

says it all; the lights; i think all red with a high gloss!!!
All red would look lovely, but i think my new wheels make the lights look better if that makes sense..!! the smoke on the lights, the black on the wheels etc etc - oh you know what i mean...!!

yea you can get away with it, it looks good with your "Sterling silver", if it was red like mine, it would look horrible. but i agree with the others making the standard rear lights all red. looks really good when done properly. Just be careful, cause when they're done bad, they look chalky and horrible

Not being funny, but what exactly is wrong with factory rear lights?
I am trying to be subjective and imagine all the different variations of lights, but even if my E30 came with the lights you have fitted from the factory, I would seek the standard style lamp just because it looks better. I don't see the point in changing something just to be different, some things are meant to be the way they are.
Of course 20 years ago I was smoking around in a KAT kitted 2.8 capri so take what I say with a pinch of salt
