Hi

I have just purchased a black LCR and was wondering if any1 has the lights below on a black leon I have searched through the forum and have seen the raid ones and they look good was just wondering what these ones would look like.

Also what do people think of them??

in my opinion i would say no dont do it, but its ur car, they will stand out as theres too much silver

i was tempted to buy these ones but all that money for a tiny bit of led in the corner seemed like arip off to me !

Thanks for the input guys, those were my thoughts exactly. I don't mind the money for a few LED's i like the look of the raid ones on some of the cars in the forum. I too think they would probably have too much silver in them and I don't really want to go down the tinting route, the car I bought has theavily tinited lens and I want to replace them with somethin more standard. It also has a rear spoiler that isn't for me which is coming off the minute I get the car home so think I will prob go for the Raid LED's

Tint them up and they will look good.

 

[ryan106]

So when you's mean tint them, do ya's mean tint the clear bit only or tint the whole unit?? Use tint spray?

 

[LEE69]

As you have a black car i'd be lightly tinting them all personally.
Yeah tint spray.

 

[1.9...stefan]

or gloss black paint that works

Tinted Raid lights... like this then?

Thats a night, during the day, its like this... the tint is very light

 

[ryan106]

Very Nice!!!! Yea think I would want something like that alright, where did you get them done???

 

[slick]

I actually brought them off a fellow SCN member he got them sprayed by a tint light company, cant remember the name of the company but they had a website, but I'm sure the company went under a year ago i think?

But any good spray shop should be able to tint the lights, a laquer/paint mix to thin the paint to a transparency able to see the lights behind the tint

Agreed.

If they were full LED i'd have a set on mine but can't make up my mind if I like these yet or not.

 

[LEE69]

They are one of the better designs.
They also do one where the leds are the white is red.

Nice work guys German ebay defo seems to be the way to go alright they are very reasonable. I am going to talk to few bodyshops and see if they can tint or might practice with tint spray on an old light I have. Really like the tinted ones in the above pic
