As said dont buy them! I recon only e30 style lights look good on the back. ie smoked etc, but of the origional e30 style.

sorry but i have to correct you on that, they dont leak badly at all. I have a set and have not had a problem with leaks and they are not badly built, dont know whether you have bought a set for your ride or not but I had to say that :)

im with gouki on this, i to have a set on my white touring and i think they suit it fine. they are not badly made and do not leak. 8) theres also a couple of pics of them fitted to my car in the photo gallery section on page 3 'cosworth turbo touring' to give you an idea of how they look :thumb:

ill tell u what i have seen, on a merc, an old one, goldy orange colour, the bloke had it re-sprayed, and he had the lights sprayed over too, on purpose, done nice n even. thatlooked quite good.

also about 5 years ago i see this jap car on telly that had had this done too, but a small stripe had been left right through the middle. so the light looked thin.

as fuzzy said won't suit the E30 with that type of style your on about Tony. I think those crystal rear lights suit 2 colours only, it looks good on a red or white car, which means mine or fuzzy's :D the other colours it just dont look right for some reason! As you got a white E30, it will look alright on there.

talking about lights that look completely gay, has anyone seen and laughed at the ones the mk3/4 fiesta, saxo etc boys put on the back of their motors, that stick out about 4 inches from where they are supposed to. like the cadillac bullet type hahaha
