Has anyone tried the clear Fiesta rear lights in their chim?
I know they look quite chavy as they are, but with the smoked covers they should be ok.

I fancy a change, and the later style lights seem to be quite a lot of hassle, and the led style afterburners are about £300!

I thought these could be worth a try, just to see what they look like.

Anyone tried them out?

Those with red laminex could work well and modernise the look a bit.

Back to this old chestnut again,rolleyes each to there own, and I have the lexus lights and I think they suit the dark metallic blue on mine. They look better than standard and don't cost £300 like led, which I think are to modern. Again each to their own. biggrin

Fairly conclusive then laugh

I only ask as my lights seem to be quite dark, especially against the silver.
I can't see the red lenses very clearly, so thought the clear lenses might be a subtle way to lighten the back up a little.

Can't see them standing out too much really.

As long as they can be put back to standard if necessary by a future owner, just fit what ever you like and enjoy. thumbup

I'm really interested to see how this turns out i think you should give it a go... as previously said it can always be put back to standard.

Not to everyone's taste, but I trial fitted one of these lights tonight.

The picture isn't great, but I think it looks quite good in the flesh.

Unfortunately the passenger side light had been removed in the past, so was very easy to switch.
The driver side light is glued and sealed from both sides, so it's going to be a messy job taking it out!
