..I think by that he means the older school clear tails, where they still had the diffusers and refelectors in the lenses, ect., but were clear...so they took on a white-ish silver appearence. Ive thought the same thing would look nice on a pearlie, but sadly the colored bulbs just arent bright enough...you have more trouble seeing that than tinted tails. Im pretty sure they are illegal nowadays for jsut that reason (and explains the orogins of altezzas)


Altezza lights would look like ****, but old chool clear tails would be okay, and period correct at that

What makes it suck: the red is a little too dark...has a bit of texture, and looks hazey at extream side angles. I'll likely be trying to spray them red from the inside out. for now though, this gives me an idea of what it'll look like

Now do the backup lights and wire them up as brake lights only. That was my original plan. See attachments

By the way, In the first photo I like the look of the Polo Green without the spoiler. Looks rather sleek.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................

Even though I managed to get the air bubbles out, and have them perfectly cut..It's true, they arent so hot that close in person.It is, afterall...vynal. from 5 feet away, they look great..and with the tails that WERE in there, I'll probably be cooking, sepearating,de-condensating, and spraying them from the inside out. Untill then, this'll do just fine
