Side repeaters

I've been thinking about different repeaters, not sure which to get, clear or tinted. I have tinted rear lights so this would match up. Or I could get clear LED ones. What do you think? Anyone know where I can get some clear and/or LED ones?

Cheers

go for smoked. on my dragon green car i've had:

smoked
clear
crystal led
green
black (done with some tinting spray :oops: )

and smoked looks the best on this colour as it doesnt attract attention to the repeaters - they sort of blend in rather than sticking out (if that makes sense :) )


hope that helps

Ok Karl, work your photoshop magic,

Here it is!

Would be nice to see it with some non-standard alloys too if you're up for it. :wink:

I like the look when it's low with wide wheels, they don't have to be extremely big, skinny or strechted tyres look cool too. 8)
What's brit style look like?

The standard smoked ones look best on a dragon green car especially with the GLX/16V smoked rears.

I've got a nice set of standard orange ones on my car :lol: . I think they look ok on a red car anyhow.
I broken two smoked ones now and my clear ones (not genuine VW) leak water in.

Any ideas where to get some smoked repeaters online or otherwise? How much am I looking to pay?
Are they easy to fit?
