Title: Opinions on Rear Lights
Post by: 2001gti4 on 02 July 2010, 15:23: I've been toying with the idea of getting some new rear lights and saw these which seem a pretty good deal. Can you let me know your opinions on the lights and the seller if you have experience with them?

I'd seriously recommend either Euro or US rear clusters depending on your paint colour.

Go for something more like this:

US Spec i think they are.

Post by: 2001gti4 on 02 July 2010, 15:54: Okay, I'm getting a definite negative vibe there. I'm pretty new to Golfs and it's hard to equate the photo on the site with what they'll look like on the car.

Thanks for the feedback :smiley:

Post by: Jack3559 on 02 July 2010, 17:55: Most things look pretty chavvy on golfs if they're not OEM.

Don't wanna steal away any originality... but OEM is where it's at.

Post by: Obvious on 02 July 2010, 17:57: Stay well clear of them is my opinion, and I also echo going OEM! How about Euro spec rears...

Post by: topher on 03 July 2010, 12:37: Everyone is entitled to an opinion but it's your car, if you like the look of something then go for it. You can always whack stuff like that back on ebay when you get bored of it.

Post by: 2001gti4 on 05 July 2010, 09:12: Thanks for the feedback all, as I say I'm new to Golfs so I'm not great at resolving what a photo online will look like actually attached to my car. It wasn't so much the Lexus look I want but I would like a really dark set of rear lights as I'm looking to have my wheels refurbed and powder coated black. If anyone can recommend anything I'd appreciate it.
Title: Re: Opinions on Rear Lights
Post by: AlanD on 05 July 2010, 09:21: If your after something dar you could try the Black Hella Magic ones? I still think the US or Euro ones are the nicest but depends what sort of look your going for with your car,
