Hey guys, just wondering which set of rear lights I should put onto my mk4? the guy before me had a set of lexus ones

and i really NEED to get rid of them. My cars dark grey and was thinking of smoked/tinted standard lights, or maybe smoked L.E.D.s? Not really looking for mk5s as i dont think it would suit the colour of my car.

On mine i just took the standards off and used that cheap tint spray. horrid stuff if you get it wrong but get it right and itll save oyu 30-40 quid and no1 will really know.
Trick is to spray it on light as possible and build up the tint on it, get yourself some old rear lights fron a scrapyard clean em up and give em a go cheapest option for keeping them dark on the rear.

Tint standard lights or get 16v lights which are tinted anyway. The better option would be to get a black LEDs which i've got but you might wanna tint the glass on them too. They're pretty bright too, blind the bugger behind you
