I tend to agree BUT I do like the mono appearance of those rear units No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

I'm not sure if these remind me of November 5th ....... a council home at Christmas

.

Now that's an idea synch them to Xmas carols  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

I don’t like the light set up when the lights are on. But it does look pretty smart with no coloured lenses. Very different indeed.

Quite fancied these as I thought it'd go well with the "Black Pack" look Ive got going on my FL2
But £280 per set is a huge price to justify.

So switched my brain into gear and created my own version.......

My originals



My new ones

..... and it didn't cost me a penny!!

I had some gloss black vehicle vinyl leftovers, so wrapped the red bits in black.
Had to leave a bottom window in red as that's the fog lights, but I created a grill in the same vein as the most recent D4 black lights, and that certainly narrows down and darkens the red (but doesn't take away from the brightness).

Works for me.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Did you get them E9 certified ???

Of course I did, I even told my insurers.

I'd even do that if I happened to invest in some internal black blinds, especially if they went over my tinted windows.

Looks good Ron I done something a bit similar on my FL1 but I painted them. The grill slats do look very neat indeed did it take a while to do do you have any full back shots? I think it takes a few years off your car easily

Here’s an old photo of mine. Think the car was only a day old and I played about on the pc seeing what the lights would look like toned down. I didn’t know what you use to make a perfect circle around the grill hob rings


FL1 the lamp guards blend right in with the painted lenses

re:- Freelander 1 photo above.

There was a trend years ago to 'blacken' the rear pillar lamps ............. what owners didn't realise was they had effectively removed their rear reflector, a legal requirement on all vehicles.

One company even produced a 'bling' stainless lamp guard which completely covered the rear pillar lamp ...... only showing the two circular portions ......NO reflector !!

The vents cut out was no real problem ..... but that's my secret.

Was getting dark when I fitted them so will get better pics up later.

FL1 & FL2 looking good btw  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

I know ......... you watched Blue Peter when you were a kid ........ all that sticky back plastic .......... where is the cereal box and the washing up liquid bottle

Laugh & quote all you like, i can see it's not to your taste but it certainly works for me.

So who's the real guy to roll around the floor laughing at ... the one who pays out £280, or those that create something similar and costs £0 ? FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Not had a chance yet Ed (and probably won't for a few days) just back from break in Scotland and the FL2 is covered in mud & grime.

Will def do though  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-
