Hi

I have just purchased a black LCR and was wondering if any1 has the lights below on a black leon I have searched through the forum and have seen the raid ones and they look good was just wondering what these ones would look like.

Thanks for the input guys, those were my thoughts exactly. I don't mind the money for a few LED's i like the look of the raid ones on some of the cars in the forum. I too think they would probably have too much silver in them and I don't really want to go down the tinting route, the car I bought has theavily tinited lens and I want to replace them with somethin more standard. It also has a rear spoiler that isn't for me which is coming off the minute I get the car home so think I will prob go for the Raid LED's

I actually brought them off a fellow SCN member he got them sprayed by a tint light company, cant remember the name of the company but they had a website, but I'm sure the company went under a year ago i think?

But any good spray shop should be able to tint the lights, a laquer/paint mix to thin the paint to a transparency able to see the lights behind the tint

Nice work guys German ebay defo seems to be the way to go alright they are very reasonable. I am going to talk to few bodyshops and see if they can tint or might practice with tint spray on an old light I have. Really like the tinted ones in the above pic :)
