I think you should try something different. Bog up the cavities & have no taillights.

Another vote for ef lights here.

Clear lights can look alright but the car has to be the right colour.. what colour is your car?

EF Lights

I'm not a fan of the altezza style ones or tinted ones, with the shape/lines of the EF/EL i much prefer the "clean" look of the standard ones. My EL Ghia has no orange on the rear, just red with white indicator bits.

Nope, they look shit I reckon (no offence pete, sorry :cry: ). Originals in mint condition are A+ good, and would look a bazillion times better (albeit less "exclusive").

Anywhoo back on topic, Pete's clear lights aren't my cup of tea (again no offense mate), but they look better on that car than most, I think because of the colour but also the chrome on the bootlid

Actually, that's probably more true than what I said, it sounds less like a kunt act to say it that way. I do think Pete's is the best example of those lights (w/ colour + garnish), but I think it'd look better with the EL Ghia's or EF's.
