Hi there. I was following a new Toledo this morning and noticed that it had clear rear lights, as opposed to red ones . Obviously, they still light up red when braking or when the lights are switched on, but I thought they looked prettty cool.
Any of you swapped their original lights for clear ones?
Easy job?
Expensive?

do tell... cheers...
Dan

These are the new clear rearlights ... should be available at the dealer's by now.

partnos:
5P0 945 223 B fog taillight
5P0 945 224 B reverse light
(careful: GERMAN SETTING: fog on LH/reverse on RH)
They're said to be somewhat around 75 Euros ... each.

greets ... Klaus

Actually, I should have checked the pics you provided before replying: I was referring to the main units lights/brake lights/indicators...

Sorry topolino ... I should have read your post more carefully ...

The ones you meant are original retrofit parts from SEAT for the main backlights coming in
black [5P1052250N] or grey [5P1052250G]

These are the grey ones you probably spottet on the Toledo:

Have a look at them here

Here's a brief instruction coming with several pics in how to change backlights

Hope this propitiates you a little ...
