Myself,  F17BAD and Shady have top tinted standard GTI rear clusters.  How they should have been from the factory imo.

I hate tinted lights. I took my gti rears off and got normal gl rears.

I may be slightly bias, but I think all reds look best on dragon green cars.



And on my old Polo

Smoothed all red or the red with black  centre band would be my other two choices.
