These tail-lights look good.

Are they legal? are extra bumper reflectors required? and has anyone seen/got them?

Yes, they look better on a Ricer than a MINI. JMHO

No I am not kidding. I have seen them on trucks and some look good and others they just don't compliment at all. As far as legal I would say they are as they have the red reflective inserts in them. I am rather impressed with the straight white lights, see the pics on my profile. again, just my opinion.

I still prefer the factory originals over anything else made.

I like the white lights on my black car. Wasn't sure about them at first, but my teenage daughter talked me into ordering them. Now I'm a little disappointed (not in the looks, but in their functionality) because the recently released rear fog upgrade doesn't work with the OEM white lights. Something about the wiring harness and using the additional brake light? I'll have to stand behind it to see which lights really work.

Those lights have been around for a while, they're not my cup of tea, but I can see why people might like them. I still prefer the originals, or the OEM Red/White lights.

Nah i hate them - a friend of mine has a similar pair on his Corsa which i think make the car look much cheaper - i think the all clear lights are much better looking.

I just saw them when I was browsing, hadn't seen them before.


I've just seen a set of those tail-lights on a Corsa, and they really suck!
