Hey guys.
I'v decided to grab some new tail lights for my AU, the orange bit on the ones on it at the moment is annoying me, ruins the look of the car IMO and makes it look old compaired to the AU2 ones. So, i was wondering if i shoud get the AU2/3 ones or the chrome lights, black ones or shadow chrome i had in mind. What do you's think would suit my car more? Heres a crappy old photo that shows all of my lovely scratches the previous owner put on her.. i have i think i took it off my phone, she's alot lower in the rear now. Tell me what you's have in mind for it.  All comments will be greatly appreciated  Cheers. |

The Series 2/3 ..... I have also seen these ones with the brake light section slightly tinted (ever so slightly) and looked pretty good actually.

Get the S2/3 ones. The others rarely look good.

Tail lights are a personal choice really,bit like wheels but anything is better than S1s. Here's a couple of choices

could always grab some S1/3 lights and tint them, turns up pretty good, not sure how it'd look with your colour though
heres what they look like on mine, would probably look better if the indicator/reverse lights were left clear..
