Ambers on a moondust saph, heinous crime or not?
Some say I have committed an atrocity, personally I really like it, but admittedly I wasn't sure until i'd actually fitted them. Having owned the car for so long I was bloody sick of looking at it so had to change something, saphs will never be a gorgeous car but you gotta try, right?

The actual colour works well, but they don't go with the wheels/side repeaters/rear lights/pimp daddy tints that you're rocking.
Maybe amber's all round and tint-free would possibly be better.
Cheers,
Grant

Yes you came on here & asked a rather silly question. 99.9% of the population would not even notice the difference so perhaps you can make that decison yourself without upping Glenns post count ever nearer to 50k

Don't think the ambers suit the silver but your car your choice

I prefer the later indicators on the Sapphires - each to their own though, prefer the later rear lights as well

I like it but then I'm biased since it looks very similar to my car!

You can guarantee if you take your car to a show you will get some perverts saying you have the wrong lights fitted.

Ambers look good but agree with Grant, they'd tie in a lot better if the tints were removed.

I own moondust Saff and I used to think that moondust is the last colour that I'd put ambers on, but that looks surprisingly nice. Somehow ambers look best on white, black, red and different shades of grey and blue, but I didn't like ambers on moondust. Now I'm kind of changing my opinion. But if you plan to put ambers front, change the rear lights and side indicators also.

Not for me I'm afraid...
The amber lights don't work well with the silver paintwork...
