If they did lights with the clear lense and black inner that would look HEAPS better than the **** ones I have seen on EFs with the frosted lense. Like the same style as the Commodore/Monaro set still retaining class and looking good at the same time. Unfortunately no1 has come up with any for EB/EDs.

Cheers

I wouldn't mind just having the indicator clear and the brake/tail still red.

It's not as easy as just cutting the lights. You can cut the garnish easy though.

The clear ones on e-bay would look good depending on what you do to them. Also depends on what colour your car is, I’m thinking of getting them and doing some mods to them. :Up_to_som
