VS dark tail lights

[JSTCOZ]

Hey,

Thinking of getting some different tail lights on my dark green VS. I think the altezza lights look like absolute piss and saw these lights on the web and think they might look alright.

If people have any suggestions of what lights to get on my vs (pics as well maybe?) that would be great!! Also does anyone have these lights on their car or something could you upload a pic?

Cheers.

Matt




Some very quick photoshop pics that I did after being provided with some pics :

One bloke I know of on this forum has them... search 'trikk'. I'm pretty sure Norti has a set of those for sale for cheap at the moment too.

EDIT: Found the thread for you. [TRIKK] Ben's Bagd VS

And a few better pics on this post. [TRIKK] Ben's Bagd VS

I got those from that exact picture. Thought they were nice and dark, but theyre a bit clearer than you think.

This is what they look like on.

thanks for the pics guys. You reckon these would look good on my dark green car? maybe I'll just attempt a quick photoshop using these pics haha.

Just found the for sale thread for you aswell.

As for how they look.. personal preference obviously. I think they'd look great a little bit darker.

That looks disgusting. Looks like common faded tail lights taken to the next level.

I would of left them stock but mine were faded to the max and I picked up crap altezzas for 60 bucks. Nothing wrong with stock. Everything else is just not right. They should release new LED lights that replicate the new E2 series lights. I reckon LED lights would look cool.

i think it looks quite good but I agree with fonzie they'd look better darker.

I actually preferred these over the hideous altezzas with the black background and the round "discs" for where your globes sit. They look like something you find growing in a petri dish.

As I said I thought they would be darker than when I pulled them out the box, as they looked darker in the photo.

For the wagon this time around I went the tinted tail lights instead of clear or the black ones.

OP to be honest I don't think these ones would look that bad on a dark green VS. But the others may have some better ideas?

[nathanVY]

my vr is the same colour as the blue one posted earlier, maybe a bit darker. those round altezzas look hideous and out of place lol.

Meh look like badly faded tail lights to me but hey what ever floats your boat.

Does anyone know if the original type tail lights are available anywhere.I hate them clear ones you see around,so I dont want them.I had to use red lens paint inside the lens for my last rego inspection,but it turns out pretty crook looking still.At least once painted they still look red at night instead of pink.

Just took another pic of my car and just cropped one of the images you guys gave me above. Only did one light so you can see the diff. What you think?

(btw i can do both for another comparison)

I think it'd look good if you were to colour code the rear garnish too.

just about to upload another pic and the lighting is alot brighter for the lights from this one






BTW no comments on the cleanliness please lol. It has been raining around Brizzy lately, I hate seeing my baby covered in dirt =(

[nathanVY]

doesn't look too bad, but i don't think theyre that dark. are they easy to tint a bit darker (i mean like a couple of shades not black like some people have) colour coded rear garnish would look good!
