to be honest i dont know why i didnt do that as soon as i bought em,always had the same problem with aftermarket lights :roll:

Can you get all red lights anywhere, not crystal ones just like they are as standard on the bottom half but all over?! im not a massive fan of fishbowl type water in my lights!

[dinkus 10]

From In.Pro, you can get:

 

Top crystal/bottom red

All smoked

 

From FK you can also get

Top smoked/bottom red

 

But the FK quality is pretty pants :?

[Paul 8v 0]

There is a place in PVW that does old skool lights are they any good?! The crystals don't float my boat

[Riley 0]

But the FK quality is pretty pants :?

 

agreed. :(

 

although ive had the same with inpro stuff too :?

 

i fancy all reds,(got a p/shop done) but dont know of anywhere selling em,or smoked/red? god knows :lol: .

 

neil.

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, the In.Pros are a ropey, but the FKs really are crap :(

 

It's a shame, because I'd really like some OE looking smoke/red ones. But even the FKs are too blingin' for my liking. I want them to look like the Mk4 GTI lights.

Thats the stuff! my OE ones have orange in them so they must go soon along with the orange side repeaters! Orange is the devils colour when it comes to lights

really m8?

 

[Riley 0]

how about option 4 in this link?

 

well...good to try sommet new or maybe not :lol:

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, they don't look too bad from the outside (if they line up :roll: ), but the tops of them are chrome too :?

 

I guess you can always paint over them...

[Riley 0]

and the chrome rubs off! :x

 

but yeah either paint em black or just keep rubbin :lol:

[Furkz 0]

FK's are the daddy of rear lights......liking the all clear inpro's tinted all red too but it would be hard getting it right

[dinkus 10]

I may get some smoke/red FKs and get the tops darkened down just a smidge more... not sure tho.

 

Lights are still a fair way down my shopping list tho...

[Paul 8v 0]

the crystals will look old soon..... hides from things thrown at him. OE style never goes out of date

[dinkus 10]

Crystals have too much 'whiff of chav' about them for my liking. They're in fashion now, but they are gonna look dated soon.

 

But meh, I like everything to look OE, so whatcha gonna do? :)

 

Edit: and talking of which - what wheels have you got Paul? 8)
