I like both types but of course went for the dark tint.

I think if you have a light colour car, eg white or Auralis Blue then the white lights are better however with Mallard Green, Black, Imperial Blue etc I think the dark lights look better.

Do like the dark headlamps on the orange one, are they real ones or just painted? If you don't mind me asking

Paul

Yeah it isnt bought anywhere its a spray can whit red transparent color, like when you smoke other lights darker, only this spray paint is red. Quite easy to do yourself, and you can adjust how mutch you want it yourself with how many layers you put on

I think the standard rears and orange fronts make the car look dated!! Each to their own though...

For me that the exact reason why I prefer the ambers, the Ecsort is near classic status so doesn't need to look modern
