    Question Source for Hella smoked tails?

    I'm interested in changing my tail lights and have always thought that the smoked Hellas were best looking on Daytona. When I bought the car it was between the one I have and a mugello. I liked the LEDs on the blue, but smoked on the gray.

    Anyone have a better source than ECS? I'd even be willing to buy used if someone decided they didn't like the look and took them off.

    TIA

    If you can wait til the weekend, I'll send you a pic of my backside (well, my car's backside.) I've got Daytona and smoked, and I'm thinking about changing to LED. If you like the look, you can make me an offer.

    Here are a couple pics of mine, although I guess they're not smoked so much as they just look dark on the car. For comparison, my A6 with Euro tails is sitting next to the RS. Sorry, the sun hasn't been out since I got home yesterday morning, and I believe we had about 5 total minutes that it wasn't raining.

    I am going to LED, but probably in the spring. If you like how this looks (if it is any different that what you have now,) I'd be willing to swap, and I can even throw in a set of smoked side markers for the front fenders.

    That would be awesome! Seriously, the only thing easier to remove on this car is the gas cap. Four 10mm nuts and a harness. Remove side panel and look back there. On the drivers side you'll have to slide out the jack kit to have better access.

    I could send them overnight and have you do the same to minimize downtime for me. No downtime for you.
