Ed30/r32 rear lights on a budget.

Right thought id share how to get the smoked cherry red rear lights for a little cheaper than buying a set. I ordered from euro car parts these

they are made by Magneti Marelli and the quality is spot on. they have all the same markings as my oem lights i took off my gti. They also come with new bulbs and holders. So mine cost me £83 with a little bit of discount. i then used my original centres, split them and painted the insides. glues back together and i now have this.







  they fit up well and look spot on. i know its not a massive saving but every little helps for some people.

Looks good! How did you split the centres? And what paint and colour did you use?

Is your plan to get legit Ed30/R32 inners or get a standard set and then tint them?

[Lyons]

Tint standard inners, as per Maxx.

Got mine built together and fitted last night- over the moon with them!

Just checked on euro car parts, use discount code EXTRA10, brings price down to £76 for the outers.

Now question, How did you tint inners and what did people use? Is there a DIY for this?

[Lyons]

There is, but I wouldn't bother with it. I did it myself a few months ago but you can get the inners for £60 odd delivered for both on ebay, so I recommend you do that. I'll be buying them myself later today.

So are the magnetelli already tinted?

and how are the inners split and what paint? And also how did you get them to match the outers?

Could you just split open the outers and the inners that I have currently and paint them instead of getting new outers?

[SI-R32]

you will break the outer lights if you try to split them, there stuck together a lot better than the inner sections and don't very easily come apart, easier to just buy them

[Pesky jones]

I see. so what paint is used for the inners?

[M9xxr]

Just matt black the insides, the lenses are the same. its the black that make the cherry red effect

[Pesky jones]

So like matt black plastikoat? Like the stuff you get from Wilkos? I would have thought that just makes it go completely black opposed to the dark red look
