I'm quite liking the crystal red/smoked lights I've seen at shows recently so maybe those. Although I think the quality of some genuine half smoked hellas takes some beating. Did you notice the rear lights on that oaky for sale at MHS on sunday??? They were full smoked hellas, that is what I want but never seen them for sale :(


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

I have to agree, crystal red/smoked to give it that contrast whilst still keeping with the dark colour of the car.  Full smoked sound nice but I've never seen them for sale anywhere either.

Was that the 4dr one for £550? I did'nt notice the rear lights, they were not a self tinted job then?  The genuine half smoked are prob the cheapest option, i do like the all red retro looking ones but they are £70!!!  :shocked:  :smiley:

Yeah that was the motor, they weren't diy the tint was actually in the plastic.

They weren't the ones from volksbits dub dude, these ones still had the colouring in the lenses but with a gentle smoke, just like the top half of valver lights. The ones from volksbits have clear smoked lenses and you have to use coloured bulbs in them.
Should have asked the owner where he found them.
