Right guys, after choosing which tail lights to go for, i went for the LED RED/SMOKED tail lights. Obviously my number one choice would have been the LCI conversion but thats too much money for lights for me. To be quite honest, im really happy with the look of these lights. You might notice that i got the windows tinted to over the weekend. what do you guys think......

Very nicely done mate. I like em. Your tint looks good....I want to get the tints too. Did you get the front windows done too and what % tint is yours ? Where did you get it done ? As you'll see in the other thread I got my angel eye bulbs changed and it was easy like you said. They look much better than before. As you car is the M-sport you already have the shadowline trim around the windows instead of the chrome I have on my SE model. I might get them dechromed when considering the window tints. You planning any more mods ?!? Number plate is good too

No i did'nt get the front ones tinted. I got 35% on the rears and the guy in the garage told me thats the same percentage they use for factory fitted tints. I got it done from a place called enigma tints in perivale, near hanger lane. My window trims were already black.
I was'nt suppose to carry on modding but i just can't stop lol. Next on my list is ac shnitzer boot and roof spoiler, carbon diffuser and changing the tailpipe to a twin rolled lip look....and i probably won't stop there lol.

These are non-OEM tail lights, so there are NO bars in them!
