lukeage 0 Posted September 24, 2005 Just got back from collecting some new rear diamond cut lights - and i really can't make my mind up, i want to move away from the standard lights as i feel imho they make the car look dated - but i am not sure if these may look a bit on the 'chavish' side? They just seem to gleam out to much from the rest of the car, maybe its because they are against a dark colour i don't know. Honest opnion's welcomed (sorry about pics a bit dark and on camara phone). The jury is out. Also does anyone know the legal /mot score regarding clear bulbed indicators?

mr.ots 10 Posted September 24, 2005 I think they look good Luke. Maybe you just need to get used to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted September 24, 2005 much better mate :salute: , it took me a couple of days 2 get use to mine also, as for the indicators im pretty sure you have to have the orange bulbs in 4 the MOT , but i just swap mine to the clear ones as soon as i get out the MOT station :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeage 0 Posted September 24, 2005 Cheers guy's - They are very much growing on me now - I gave the car as wash and stared at them a bit more and they are very much growing on me, i suppose it was just down to being such a change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 24, 2005 I can't make my mind up about those, they defo look better on darker paints for sure. Most modern cars have shiney lights like that now, so they don't look out of place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted September 24, 2005 Would smoked ones look better or just red tinted ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60griff 0 Posted September 24, 2005 i like the all red tinted ones myself. but the ones you have just put on are growing on me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted September 24, 2005 nice! use silver indicator bulbs tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeage 0 Posted September 24, 2005 nice! use silver indicator bulbs tho Went for the clear bulb in the end, its pretty bright tick, but looks good. Another good point is the reverse lights, i think they are brighter then the front lamps :) time for an uprated loom next. Another one to the list, which goes on and on and on...

lukeage 0 Posted September 24, 2005 Have you guys got silver tops - was considering masking up the reflective bulk of the lamp and painting the top - just so it looks more seated when opening the boot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted September 25, 2005 mine are smoked at the top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted September 25, 2005 The plastic round the units is silver on mine too... I know a few people have masked it up and painted it black to lose some of the bling and I've been meaning to do this with mine but haven't got round to it yet :? Look much better than standard though... it will just take a few days to get used to the change Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davebirl 0 Posted September 25, 2005 sorry guys but they just look like pure tack to me! :( far too modern for the back of a C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 tint the top half red, should look fantastic IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted September 25, 2005 tint the top half red, should look fantastic IMO These wouldnt take well to tinting, as you wouldnt get the colour match.. for all red tinting, using the standard lenses would be a better option. Mine, as all [i think!] have the chrome 'effect' tops. TBH, i really dont have a problem with it.. maybe im a closet chav? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted September 25, 2005 I think PhatVR did tinted and de-blinged his - have a look in his gallery or for sale thread for pics... EDIT - just found this... credit to Mike Kippen - V nice looking C too 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lukeage 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Well after a weekend of umming and arrghin i am sold on them, they just make the whole thing look newer from the back. Granted there not to everyones taste, but i have become a fan. Might consider gettting them slighlty tinted but can't see me swapping back to standard.

mr.ots 10 Posted September 25, 2005 At the end of the day Luke as long as you like them that's what counts. If I wasn't intent on keeping my car standard I'd fit some myself. Mmmm, Maybe another C is what's needed for full modding :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
