RSR rear lights....
« on: 21 June 2013, 10:20 »
Been looking for some Hella all reds, spoke to my bank manager and he seems to think a 2nd mortgage should cover it! But then i keep hearing about these RSR's?

So they are red at the top smoked in the middle and red at the bottom (hence RSR). What are these from? are they late cabriolet? and why so rare? Are they ones people have made or are they OE?

What is it with those hella reds? They seem to go for a £100 plus? :shocked:

I really like the "RSR"  ones myself and believe tthey're also a hard to find Hella issue cluster.  This said I know several people have just smoked out the centre section of the all red version. Either way they command ridiculous scene tax.

They are only expensive because of the 'scene' tax that gets applied, just like vento front spoilers.. there's a chap on ED38 who does 'reds' copies that look just the same.

If they're the same ones I've seen that are smoothed then they are a very good quality finish.

There was a guy on here from Somerset who had a Stylehaus mk3 on air ride, he sold a set of these rear lights a while ago.
