These are my CL lights that have been smoothed, slight red tint on top and black below, then laquered and polished. I'm not too keen on them to be honest fancy some hella blues.

I bought mine from a guy on Edition 38, they are CL lights, smoothed, tinted and polished. I use orange LED bulbs which are fine.

I like them. Home tinting is certainly a no no imho, so easy to under or over spray.

I was so close to gettin rid of these clear/red rear lights, and replace them with the smoked/red ones, which I think would set off the mk3 really nice, but then decided against it, coz I can't be asked putting more money towards it  :tongue:
