Default Opinions please

I hate the clear rear lights on my Series 1, so I was going to put standard rear lights on the back, but I stumbled across these today

Anyone got a pic of what they look like on a series 1
Although they aren't quite lexus gayness are they
Or

Ok no offence to the owner of this mint S1 but it made my mine up.. the rear lights have to be standard. It just doesn't look right IMO! Well at least I now know.. New pair of standard rear lights it is.

Thanks for the replies, I'm sticking to standard rears and possibly amber fronts now by order of the missus! surprised me how keen she got about the idea of me using different lights! Anyone would think she was concours bufty! gave the old 'but its a series 1' speech
Tinted lights where for sale from essex racing for Ł65 + carriage.

the rears look ok but brand new standard set are the way to go

Nice but no thanks, the S2 wing mirrors don't look right either although there probably lighter, couldn't believe how much the series 1 wing mirrors weight!
Sticking to standard.

Next thing.. clear front indicaters or amber.... hardcore decisions eh?

Just bought some clear new indicaters for a tenner off ebay.. but now thinking I should have got new amber's

if you are going standard rears, then you should go standard fronts,dont mix and match,always looks like half a job when a car has clear fronts and standard rears imo
