I currently have the pre-facelift rear lights, but im not sure if i prefer the facelift ones better!!

Or maybe a better option is the OEM pre-facelift ones with the indicator part clear!! Or then again the facelift ones with the indicator part clear!!

What do people think????

MarkW19 · Sep 24th, 2006, 06:07 PM

Facelift with indicator part clear, IMO

mikeythemini · Sep 24th, 2006, 08:09 PM

Depending on tbe colour of your car. What colour ?

Paul · Sep 25th, 2006, 08:54 AM

Clear indicator pre facelift, BUT, the facelift ones are much brighter (so better lights really).

venox22 · Sep 25th, 2006, 11:42 AM

mines indi blue, im thinking facelift with clear indicator part at the minute!

What re-wiring is there involved changeing from Pre to facelift??

Paul · Sep 25th, 2006, 04:26 PM

Nothing too tricky. You just have to splice into the wires because the pre facelift have two fogs and one reverse. It's not too tricky (I've done the opposite and it was simple enough).

My 'special' facelift rears with a red tint to the indicators

Pobsey · Sep 25th, 2006, 04:56 PM

I de-chromed them and removed the yellow disc that makes the indicator amber

Cowey · Sep 25th, 2006, 10:41 PM

My preference.. Pre facelift, all clear..........

Black&Blue · Sep 25th, 2006, 10:48 PM

They were amber, but I took the light apart and removed a yellow disc that makes the lens orange

venox22 · Sep 26th, 2006, 08:36 AM

So when you removed the yellow disc, did that turn the indicator part clear??? as per the OEM lights you can buy with clear indicator sections??

Wonder if that can be done to pre facelift rear lights??

Also what bulbs have you got in the reverse light section?? Have you re-wired that so that it is the Fog??
