I was shown these at a local car accessories place (over zealous salesman) when he was trying to sell me the lexus style lights. He then showed me these and said they did the suround in black to. I think for a black car, they'd look good with a black surround. Yet to see them on a car though, as £185.00 is a little much to pay before seeing the finished article.

I'd be interested to see these in black as well. Who is the actual manufacturer?

Damo · Aug 16th, 2003, 12:04 AM

No one got any extra info on these?

Maybe we should email em.

They look good in black, but never realised that they stick out from the body work. Still could do with seeing them on a car. Anybody bought these. Very tempted.

Looks like the black is matte. I guess it's been designed to be painted body colour.

Look vaguely reminiscent of a cross between the MK1 and the later square light units on the classic Mini.

Looking at the pics, the Black Plastic would match the Black Plastic on the car in places, so I'd probably not bother painting em. For other coloured cars, painting em would probably be good though.

Here's a pic of the black ones fitted (not my car!)

I must say they look better in black but i'm still not keen

Is it me or that image photoshopped, or does the guy like driving around with one light on one side, and one on the other. Defo needs a black car, to see if it looks right or not.

blackflamer · Aug 18th, 2003, 06:09 PM

I imagine the guy just fitted one to show what they look like fitted (I got that picture from ebay)
