Custom home made is the only way - and they tend to look a bit tacky tbh. :smiley:

You can get genuine euro ones in clear and red though

Post by: thatwillis on 28 August 2011, 19:31: I've always liked the all red rear lights. But if you self tint them with spray. You need to make sure you can see an amber indicator. Which i here is a bit of an issue.

all red tint.

This has all reds apart from the reverse (?) light.

The mate who I took the photo for has all red rears, when he reverses the light's pink, you might wanna consider that!
