Title: Rear Lights - Opinions...
Post by: Ashmond on 23 January 2008, 15:50
Wanna get the proper nice look on the rear and have deceided to go with either the Euro Spec or the US Spec rears, which do you guys would suit better on my black mk4? Initially I would say the US ones to tie in the black but I think the Euro's would brighten it up slightly?

I am making that desicion as well, in the end ive opted for the US ones as my car is dark grey and the US suits that... your car is black so i would say the US ones also but i hear what your saying about brightening it up. A tough call but i'd say US

if you're keeping those headlights, get the euro.. if you're swapping to black headlights (anni) go for the US ones!

Honest opinion I can take it  :grin:.

they look smart, but personally i think the dark ones would work better on a dark car, with the euro ones working best on the lighter colours.

need to find myself some of those mud guards

and get yourself some aero wipers too  :laugh:
