Got my lexus lights. Only problem is that theres a black outline i wasnt made aware of. My motors flame red which looks like i've ripped them off a black car. Huff.
Do u's reckon its worth tryin to spray the outline silver or red?

Some come in silver, some come in black - all down to pot luck!
The first lot of silver and blacks came through with a silver border, then they changed the black lights to having a black border...
then you when you thought they'd got it right.. they changed the silver lights to have a black border too

They look like this, but on a red car. I'll take a pic when the suns up.
I love em at night, look the badgers. Got led brake lights in too. Well, except i've had to use them for my rear fogs thingys cos they were only single filament.
What do urs look like robertio? any pics?Sounds like yours would suit mine, and mine would suit yours. Fancy a swap?

the ones with silver don't stand out as much as the ones with red. i think the silver ones are trying to blend in with the chrome back.

Yeah they give u wiring. the only thing you have to worry about is getting a twin filament brake light bulb and an amber indicator bulb. Less than 2 squid for the lot.

Lookin good xtc. luv that colour.
The black ones do look good, but i just think that on my red motor it stands out too much. Mostly i dont want people thinkin i got em from a black car and didnt bother sprayin em or somethin.
I'm colour codin the lot soon, so the blacks probably gonna annoy the tits off me.
I dunno, what do you's think? All opinions welcome.
