New rear lights

Just thought I would share a pic of my new rear lights I fitted recently and a couple of my dash since its finished. I have also taken the RLTC out of its little box and fitted it nicly into the dash just behind and to the left of the steering wheel.

Not a big fan im afraid the car looks nice thou

Your dash looks nice.

I am not a fan of those clear rear lights though.

Gauge overload for me, but the exterior looks very good mate.

pity the rear light weren't all clear.

I really like the lights. Suit a silver car nicely.

Obviously not a perfectionist

mmm, mixed opinions, they must be the visual version of marmite, lol.

I think they suite the silver well and clean the rear end up a little. The reflectors are there to keep them road legal. I bought them from a member on here who made them up himself. I was going to go along the clear indicator route and have 2 red lenses left. I even bought a second set of lights but bought these as I havnt seen them done before and wanted to be different.

I know gauges arnt everyones cup of tea but I was going to try some track days and thought it a good idea to keep an eye on engine oil press, temp, boost (as usual) and ATF temp. I tried to match them with the white dials and put them in the dash to keep things looking neat instead of having pillar pods everywhere or loosing a glove box

Don't bother mate.

In the end it's your car, and YOU have to like it.

like the gauges in the dash

can never have enough!

Not a fan of the rear lights, but i love the tinted front idicators and you dash! very cool

Not sure on the rear lights or the steering wheel but nice looking motor overall.

Car has to much silver, and im about to get worse..hehe..imo to make the rear lights work with the whole silver thing, id paint the headlight inners silver to;) or add rear plate surrounds

I think the rear lights would work well if they were completely silver, that red ring is ruining things slightly. Kev O has a similar thing going on & I like it, esp since each lense is completely silver

Car looks great though Chris

Quick PS of one side of yours, it's a bit like if you're going to go all silver, you have to go ALL silver if you know what I mean

I think it pulls of quite nicely on the silver colour.

I would agree with the above that you should put on some number plate surrounds to break up the silver a bit.

Jay's right ... it looks much better without the red ring.

is it just another clear reverse lense from a set of pre facelift j-spec lights required to get rid of the red ring? if so I have 2 spare sets of lights now so I may take them apart and change it to see what it looks like.

not sure how they have done it as the red disc's are larger than the clears so by rights the clears in the centre's will have a gap around the edge.

You'll need another set of UK rears mate. (About £90 new when I last checked).

Can't you just put a small red reflector at the bottom of your numberplate or some other inconspicuous place?

are you not meant to be corbridge?

I have decided to leave the red reflector in anyway, its different and I quite like it also its legal. I think a reflector has to be within a certain distance of the lights and it would look naff having a reflector clagged somehwere on the bumpe,r so in the lights it will stay

I did say inconspicuous

Just a pity the rings aren't trimmed neater

I like those rear lights and IIAC the red ring is the reflector which is an MOT requirement so surely removal will get you a fail,and as you said its a little different. Not sure about the gauges - can you actually read them as the pictures look like you cant from the drivers seat?
