I've had one on my AS w/ rs wing for about 1 year, looks very natural no one really notices the change. Much better looking and integrated than the OE red one. 5 min. to install.

Can't wait to see it done. Can you post pics of before illuminated and after (old light and new led)? Thanks J.

Cheers.

They are also available in a smoked version for darker colored cars.

Here is a pic after fitting. Looks very clean but not very exiting or noticable for the untrained eye. LED's light up instantly however which is good and added safety.

Johannes,

looks good indeed. Do you have a pic of the "whole rear" to get a better overall impression?

I ordered a smoke one for my Slate Grey beast. Should match nicely. I also added the factory "clear" sidemarkers recently, which look smoked to me....so those match nicely too. I will post some pics when I get the rear installed, but it will probably arrive next week while I am in San Diego for the week. Figures.

Have the smoked one on a silver car with the CF RS wing, matches the CF pretty well and also lost the orange turn signal bulbs which also helped clean up the rear.

Ray,

Did the exact same thing, silver bulbs in the rear turn signals as well as the front side markers, looks very clean together with this clear/silver brake light.

Ciao,

that gives me an interesting idea... i wonder how a black car with fully smoked lenses and black wheels would look... the only non-black would be the front lights and a polished wheel lip.
