I have the second set but on a Luna.

TBH I like the standard lights and cant see why they would need changing! To pick out of the 2 links though I'd say the first ones although I think they'd look better on a silver or yellow car...

They don't need changing it's just a preference. I personally think the standard red is too bright and looks better darker. Suits the silver, black, yellow or platinum more if you have darker tints, wheels, repeaters etc... The super bright red goes with nothing else on the car.

I know it's just a matter of opinion mate but my point was that in my opinion I don't think the red looks out of place on any colour Leon... I can see why people may want to change lights if they had orange repeaters but in the case of the leon the red and white/clear is fine! I think the back of a black leon with black lights would end up looking bulky and would need something to break it up a bit...

As for the red, well if you have an LCR I think you'll find it matches the Brembos and rear callipers quite nicely

all IMHO of course

 

[Cupraloon]

Of the two i think the first (lightkings) ones would look better on a black leon, otherwise it could indeed end up looking to much black...

i painted mine myself, the same as the 1st ones, and i'm no sprayer by anymeans, and they look good, why don't ya save ya money and have a go yourself, or get a body shop to do them.............. jus an idea, but deffo the 1st ones.

 

[Skorchio]

Thanks for all the replies guys. Yeh i think the top onces too as i agree, i think it would be to much black with the full tints.

Think i will w8 till i get back on holiday to buy them but i think i have made my mind up Thanks Guys

Cupra R 210 if you could get some pics i will kiss you

Im quite a dab hand with teh spray can but i think the masking would be hard and i really would want a pro finish as it what everyone stairs at when there behind you?

You got any pics of your mate?

 

[Mackers]

i'll try and get some in a bit, but masking off was really easy, there's a groove between the red and clear parts, jus take your time.

 

[Skorchio]

Really? WOW!!!

What paint did u use??

 

[Mackers]

due to me working in halfords, i got 1 of the part lads (who mix the paint as you wait), to put some black candy paint (it's see through) with some clear lacquer and used that, it took me and my missus about 2 hours to pull all 4 lamps clusters out, strip the old paint off ( i was a bit over zelous with the gloss black the day before, so much so, you couldn't see the side lights in the day) and prep and paint them.

 

[Skorchio]

[stew]

[Mackers]
