Welcome along Amy, what car do you have? Go to the New Members Intro Page and say Hi to everyone and most importantly post some pics up of your car. There are a few peeps around here that get very excited when ladies turn up on the forum so beware. :happy2:

Not sure about black glass on either front or the rear but ETTO, why not try something like Lamin X.

Hope that helps!

LaminX in the light smoke color would look great and be much cheaper / easier.  Also use "FenDub" discount code if you do order some  :happy2:

lol well we know who wears the trousers in your relationship....its ok coz he gets fishing equipment lol

do you know what, i actually quite like the look of the lamin-x but can i just ask:

1: is it road legal
2. does it look cheap and crap or quite good once its on (checked out a video on youtube and looked good but would like personal experiences)

if the lamin-x is good then ill buy that and have something else for my anniversary :)

I can have anything I like for our anniversary, as long as I pay for it and spent the same amount on her present (she's not daft). Got a WALK kit for my anniversary.   :laugh:

Those lights you linked first have clear lenses, it's merely the plastics and projectors inide that are black (still looks much better than the chrome trim on standard lights imo)
Fleabay have plenty of those from 150 upwards.

Tinting the lens with film would look even cooler on these than just tinting the standard ones I reckon  :jumping:
