for a set of standard rear lights. If anyone is interested in doing a swap for my lightly tinted rear lights that will change the look of the back end of the vx. The reason i want a change is im going back to the standard look. There is nothing wrong with my lights and have loads of pictures if anyone is truly interested. Ive been doing some research and you can remove the tint with this product http://www.autocruis...products_id=770 so it means the lights never have to be a permanent thing. Just seems a shame to remove it now when they look so good.

What condition do the lights need to be in? One of mine have two small cracks on the underside edge.

Abit like if a stone hit a windscreen. A small circled one on the inside so might be from vibration.
I'll get some pics for you.

I also have my fronts tinted and ive never had any issues with the coppers. Ive been to car cruise where they have walked around my car and never said one thing. Its also been through the mot when i had a film over the lights that was twice as dark as what they are now and it passed fine. I took the film off because i wasn't happy with the finish.

You may need to alter the wires a little, as they are not the same as euro's.
