All red rear lights?

seen these on a few mk1's and i really like them. does anybody know where i can source some. ive tried volksbits and a few others but they all have lexus style and m3 style. Any help would be great, thanks, ben

depends if u want the long ones or short ones ive seen s1 taillights in al red for sale in pvw but they aint cheap just over ?100 if i remember rightly!!!!! not sure where u would get new all red long ones though??

All Reads are very expensive for what they are and suffer badly from scene tax. I managed to hold on long enough to find a set on ebay for ?30.00. You'll be luck to find them that cheap though but it's worth waiting about and keeping your eyes peeled.

If you can't wait you can always paint them red with that spray you get in Halfrauds.

hi guys thanks for the replies, ?85 from just matz doesnt seem too bad to me considering what some people pay for those punto lexus lights which stick out 5 inches. Might buy some mats aswell and see if i can blag a discount.  

?85 They must have dropped that price recently then, last time i looked they were ?115 a set 8O

prehaps they didnt sell many


I will wait till they are ?40 when nobody wants them anymore

how much was that if you don`t mind me asking, am guessing your indicators flash red now, was they pretty easy to fit

I must admit, crazyquiffs look better quality

The all red ones don't have the black stripe running through the middle

I got a sheet of red film from Lamin-X (site as in above post).  It was the 12" x 16" I think.  ?19 for that size.

Was easy to fit and comes with a knife and squeegee too.  

The lights do flash red/orange but they look cool so it's worldy!  

I fitted the film to FK M3 crystals and am really happy - the film is nice and thick and is simple to apply - a bit of heating and trimming here and there and job done!

thanks for all the replies guys, the film idea does sound like a cost effective solution but the reason im buying in the first place is because my standards are cracked and chipped. Think i will go crazy quiffs when i get paid  

If you want your indicators to flash amber through the red tint, just use green coloured bulbs, green and red make orange :wink:

Aha, good skills, think I better do this!  Cheers dude.  

Hello chaps

The light/reflector design plays a part in what colour/style bulbs are needed to have an orange flash.

For example, mk2 golfs are fine with green bulbs, whereas corrado's require orange led's and resistors.

At a guess, with the series 1 style rear lights being small/compact then green bulbs should be ok id imagine.

I can help on which led's/resistors are needed if anyone needed to know.

What would you recommend for my lights Neil?  I covered the clear part of my m3 crystals in your film so would a green bulb work for mine?
