Not personally a fan.

I far prefer keeping the original external styling myself.

Look terrible imo.
There's a fair bit of Dino in the S1, would you go and stick a Lexus cluster on the back of one?

i personally prefer the look i had on my s1 which was replacing the rear indicators with red brake lights so that the rear was completely red with orange bulbs in them. i'll see if i can dig out an old picture

Clear lights on the rear of any Elise is a crime... period.

Smoked indicators on the front can look good though.

^^

Agree with what he said.

I think clear lights look really washed out. I love the colour contrast the red/orange lights give and also love the dark smoked lights on lighter coloured cars can look good too but depends on car to pull this off well.

My sport had clear lights on all around. Against silver paint work just looked freakin terrible, first day in my hands they were swapped back to std new ones. So much better and nice contrast to the silver.

each to their own though smile

I'm not a fan of them either ...

As Kylie said, I prefer the contrast of the orange indicators against the silver paintwork of my S1. The only time I'd ever consider LED lights would be on a S2 Elise - I'd replace the rear bulbs with a ring of LED lights, but retain the red plastic covers - I think that particular mod looks good smile

They look like Toyo R888's to me.
