Ive never liked those L.E.D ones. Getting some second hand facelift lights should be relatively cheap, theres normally loads on ebay.

Spend the money you save on a spoiler?

go for the facelift lights, need them in there to break up the colour imo

Yeh James was thinking that. Plus I will be buying Halo Headlights in Chrome, so the black LED's may not go. I'll need to have a hard think about it though..its now either the Black LED's or facelift.

David, yup thats a plan. To spend the money I save on spoiler...good thinking!

Thanks again everyone

Going to go against the general flow on here.

I say go for the OEM Facelift lights.

Why, because your car has lots of Silver, quite a bit of black, and a bit of red. I think the Red rear lights would work best to keep the theme similar and still look

With the other 2 you'd not have much red on the car (just the brakes and wing mirrors) and it would look a little out of place.

If not the facelift, then the black Ultra ones.

Have you not considered the Red/White OEM lights like you have now, I had them on my old cooper...

i updated to facelift rears a couple of months back. makes the car look alot better/newer from the back. just put the halo headlights up front aswell.

black LEDS i think, compliments the silver on the car

To keep with your silver/black theme you could do what I have done and get the whole lot tinted black, tail-lights, third brake light, reversing light and the American spec side running lights. Everything blends in really well then, a guy on ebay does them in a quick turn-around and cheaper than just the rear lights. You can also get the side running lights in clear off ebay if you go the chrome/white route.
