"Smoked" rear lights
Discussion
I just saw a S3 (S4 ?) with really good looking rear light clusters. Instead of the usual red/white/orange it had just red/grey segments. It didn't appear to be a tinted film or anything.
Has anybody seen this? I don't remember these on Ford Escorts either. I want a set, it would look brilliant on my dark blue S3.
Does anybody know how much these are, there's no price in the S series parts list? And can anybody confirm that they are standard Ford parts?
Many thanks
Andy

As Ford Escorts have been Maxed to within an inch of there lives by the Maxy Muppet Beanie exhaust bunch I imagine you can get all sorts of different style rear light clusters, 
How about these?

Podie, you're right. That was exactly what it looked like. I might get a pair, thanks for the link.
I also like the ones raceboy found. They're maybe a tad too "aftermarket" to look good on an S3. It's such a "classic" looking car, and I want to keep it this way. Would be interesting to see them for real, though.
Hmmm, seriously tempted, me....
...and amazed for the umpteenth time about the wealth of information available on PH. Thanks!

No problems mate... if you're interested I'd check out Ford and Ford spares type places as well as scrapyards since they'll have them lying around and probably quite cheap.
Watch out as a lot of the max power brigade have lights "for show use only" which will see you being pulled over! FYI the clear ones that raceboy found are not "e" marked and therefore not approved for use on the road.
The ones that came on the Escort (see pic) ARE approved and were fitted as standard to the car in question...

dont know where pdavison got his. i have tinted my front sherpa indicators with the maxi p spray from halfords (PS - must wear baseball cap to purchase). I have only done them a slight shade of dark as i didnt like the bright orange on my grey S

I put a set of clear rear cluster lights on my V8S. they do look very good and change the apperance rear of the car. Makes mine look wider as the lights look bigger, which they aren't
The only problem is, they have to be bonded back in, so I would advise getting hold of some black sealer before you start.
