Completely Dark Rear Light Clusters ... NOT R32 ones.

(1/3) > >>

Strat:
hey guys,

i was thinking that my R32 'smoked' tail-lights aren't infact dark enough, especially with a black car the red seems to appear a maroon colour against the black paint. Iv seen a few cars dotted about, and im sure one was at the santa-pod meet (a black R32 i think), where they had completely black rear light clusters. anyone know where such an item can be bought from?

this is an example, although im sure they were much darker even than this:



Thanks!

WhiteGTI:
I reckon in that photo above he has just put tinting film over the lights.

Strat:
yeh he may have done, but that sort of thing is easily botched, i ideally want to buy one which is made as intended!

WhiteGTI:
LOL, yeah that sort of thing is easily botched! I know full well! haha

Tint spray is a bodge - I wouldn't consider Lamin-X to be a bodge. They are cut to size and give an even tint across the lights which is hard to achieve with tint spray. You're unlikely to get darker than R32 lights without going for some of nastier looking aftermarket lights. Worth bearing in mind also that after market lights rarely fit as well as OE ones, so surely tinting the originals is the best course of action? It's also a darn sight cheaper and easily reversable.

Just my 2 penneth.
