Just bought some Facelift rear estate lights to replace my standard pre F/L ones.

I'm still not sure if i prefer them to be honest...
What do you think?

Before:


In between:



After:


Also fitted clear sidelights, which i know i like lol

I prefer the facelift lights, old ones seem 'dim' in comparrison.

Not a fan of thr BMW or VXON decals though

and the side repeaters on a prefacelift....I prefer clear to orange....but IMHO Smoked is the colour you really want 

[o-meg-a]

Th VXon one is coming off....i dont like it any more either.

but the bimmer one is staying.. lol

as is the notbothering one.

Clear repeaters... Yes.

Rear lights... Not sure TBH :-/ :-/

[o-meg-a]

clear sides were only a fiver for the pair mind.....
might "smoke" them eventually, but then it would make sense to put the old rear lights back on too, as they are smoked as standard....hmm

[Tezray]

My vote goes to the facelift rear lights 

[Jimbob]

best photos I have at a glance on smoked repeaters are :







which almost make them disappear

Yeah i quite like them tbh, might do it eventually.

Buy some of that tint spray stuff.

smoked/tinted prefacelift tail lights for me, that's another of the reasons I prefer the prefacelift cars over the later facelift cars, the back end is far to light (both saloon & estate)
AIMHO

hmmm yeah, i'm torn.

On the one hand i like the smoked originals...but then for some reason i think i like the clearcut look of the facelift ones.

i'll leave them on for a bit and if i change my mind i'll just go back to the others and sell the facelift ones back on.

I think the smoked one's look better. I've changed the side repeaters to clear one's and it looks much better!

I think I've still got some tint spray left in the shed, do you want me to bring it when we meet up next month? May well spray my side repeaters too actually?  :-/

Hmmmmm......I think I like the originals better  :-/

Yeah that would be cool. Get the sides done then. Might even have a go at the rears. Get best of both then lol
