    Default tinted euro vt tail lights......

    Holden 1997-99 VT Commodore Sedan Clear Tail Lights - eBay Tail Lights, Lights, Indicators, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 26-Feb-09 19:45:11 AEDST)

    have a look at these tail lights for the vt - vx...

    i was thinking about buying a set and tinting them with nightshade and putting them in my vt.

    has anyone done this yet?

    does anyone else reckon it'd look alright?

    cos im sick of my tail lights now, i was gonna go vx calais tails but everyone is doing that too now, so maybe these lights tinted would be different.

    any thoughts? cheers, maybe someone could even photoshop them onto my vt tinted, thanks heaps.

    heres a pic of my vt, arse end.

    still yet to see a set of decent lights avaliable aftermarket for any commodore.

    This is yet another example of what not to do! They look shit, and within a week, 500 other VT/X owners will have them, so they'll lose the 'stand out' factor.

    Not a bad idea man tho only thing u'll have 2 mod them like darons and have ur reverse lights in with the indicators.

    nite shades + clear coat that u can cut back 2 bring up that glossy look if thats wat ur after? tho since ur cars always dirty a mat finsh wouldnt look bad lol

    mayb even just tint a set of series 2 lights and 4get the clears?

    Those tail lights do not have a red reflector in them and neither do the ones on your car at the moment. You could be defected without red reflectors somewhere on the back of your car. You will obviously need red brake and tail light globes if you buy those, and I don't think that will look good.

    both sets have reflectors champ, do the reflectors need to be red? euro vr vs clear tails have clear reflectors.. the same as these clear vt ones, they have reflectors, just clear ones.

    and as for my tail lights, the red circle is a reflector =]

    Yes I could see the euro ones have a clear reflector but not red and I couldn't really see the reflectors in yours, so sorry about that.
