Title: Opinions please
Post by: ReeceH13 on January 27, 2013, 07:53:04 pm
Hey all

So, I have got my new wheels. Next, rear lights!

In LOVE with the OEM LED rears, but do you think they will suit my car given the new wheels (even though they do look similar to the ED30 ones).

Or do you think I should go with the OEM R32/ED30 rear lights? I know many might be thinking, "well it's your car, your choice" I just want other peoples opinions as I don't want my motor to look too 'aftermarket' Other visible mods are subtle, InPro indicators, black front and rear badge

They do look nice! I just think if I get the LED's the rear end will just be a bit too busy... Hmmm

Are them lights different to the standard ED30 rears does anyone know? if so any pics of the above fitted to your whip?


I think the Eibach Pro Kit get my vote.... NEED the springs! : )

i think valeo and hella made these.

i have LED OEM Rear lights now, i like them much better. but i would say that as im an LED WHORE!
