Rear lights question
« on: 02 March 2010, 18:01 »
Firstly I have searched and done some digging around but got lost in it all! 

I'm after some replacement rear light clusters for me brothers mk3 (he's got a 1.8GL project).  He's mentioned before liking smoked ones (plain bulbs, not LED etc).  As its a gift I'd like to get him some new ones (which rules out GTi):
  Which ones are half clear/smoked and half red/smoked? 
  Some have bulbs visible, but prefer ones that don't. 
  What they called, are they made by FK? 

Show me some pics or links fitted if possible please.

Talk to me!!  :grin:

There is only one type of GTI rear lights and it's this:



If you've seen something else, then it's either customized or some aftermarket lights.

Cheers peeps!   :wink:

Those ones in the link look great, just what he told me he was after.  Looking at the image, the bulbs are obscured, is that correct with those FK ones?

I personally like the original GTi clusters and have seen a few sets on eBay, however I wanted to get him something new, boxed etc.  Anyways I'm sure sticking GTi bits on a GL is frowned upon!   :grin:

I still think the standard GTI / VR6 ones are the best bet, some of the aftermarket ones let water into the boot.
