Default Red/Smoked rear lights - THEY ARRIVED!!!

Well, after ordering my Red/Smoked rear lights from essex racing, they told me they had been discontinued!

So, I've just ordered a set from Auto Tint Design:



anyone got these, or any pics of these fitted??

Well, I thought that but I was corrected last time I posted. Soeone off here posted that all red/smoked ones are aftermarket and that all RST's even '90 spec ones had the red/orange/clear ones like all the other models!.

I thought they were a standard feature on the later spec cars aswell.

Like the late sierra sapphire's, they too have smoked lenses

the AUTO TINT DESIGN tail lights dont have the black plastic border around the lamp, like the original ford tail lights, look on dave y's picture, think ABC design do them around 40 quid i think i got mines for.

That's what I thought, but take a look here: https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=237054 I was told that they all had normal (ie. non smoked ones!)

There were loads of companys selling then, lots of them still advertise them, but when I've gone to buy them they've said they've been discontinued!

www.demontweeks.co.uk im sure they got the ABC DESIGN tail lights with the black border around them ( just like the std escort lamps have) AUTO TINT DESIGN dont. i think ultra is another one that dont have the black border and is way too dark compared to ABC & ATD. if demon tweeks dont stock them try www.speedshack.co.uk

Right, lets put this to bed now.

Had my Red/Smoked lights delivered from Auto Tint Design today, andit would seem.............




Auto Tint Design and ABCDesign are the same people, well ABCDesign is the name on the invoice and I bought them from www.autotintdesign.com any road.

And finally, the ones that came are ABC lenses and are EXACTLY the ones I was after, not a compromise like the ones above would have been. They have the black border around them and are slightly darker than what's in my previous post!

I cant believe that every company I went to told me they had been discontinued, maybee ATD just have a stock or sumthin!

Anyways it's sorted,

Lee
