Tail Lights - euro_zx5 - 07-14-2006
They look pretty good! And for $150, you really can't go wrong. Much better looking than the APC style tails erveryone has, that's for sure!

Not Bad Ash, but those are not European, lol they would fail the MOT there in a heartbeat lol....
These are True European Tail lights from a 51 plate:

Nice tail lights and great deal Ashley. Those are the only tail lights I would change out my stock ones for. The only thing I don't like about them is that there is so much glare off the plastic housing (as seen in your pics).

Am I lucky or what? A girlfriend who is not only into cars and mods but does them herself! Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Sorry if anyone feels like :puke: but you have to admit it is pretty cool. :lol:
[right][snapback]197303[/snapback][/right]
Been there, done that... married her! :D
God job on the install, but as always my personal opinion is that chrome and the Focus were never meant to be together... especially at either end of the car.

You must not really like the looks of my car then (chrome mirrors, tint, and taillights.... I think that is it).... oh well.... personal taste I guess!!!
[right][snapback]197344[/snapback][/right]
But yours is consistent, whereas she has a stock front end, tinted windows and then the chromed rears. Your effect is rather uniform across the car, whereas the other is a tad... jumbled. Again, not ripping on you Brandon0133-style or anything Ashly :lol:
Just calling it as I see it... and a coat of Niteshade would tone it down while retaining the style and most of the original effect. Come to think of it, that just might work.
But it's not my car, and props for doing it yourself! :)

I was searching Focus parts or whatever somewhere... and it came to European Tailights and they looked like mine, that is why I thought they were.
Thanks, bunny for the official name!

Tail Lights - paolo - 07-15-2006

Tail Lights - SL8RZZX3 - 07-15-2006
Lookin good!! are they the black or carbon fiber?
and do they work as dual lights (brake and signals seperate bulbs) or are they the same function as stock?
i had considered those tails, but my new wing took them out of the equation B)

If this was a guy, we would laugh him off the board.
How pathetic are we.
And I include myself because i am stupid enought to add to the chaos.
And Ashley, I remember those likes on Gord's car. They look good but a good coat of nites*** would do wonders to those! :lol:

i agree with that meford, and would be even more impressed if Ash wired up a set of Morrette Tails without the instructions and had them working the first time
it looks alright, not really a fan of them
