Pidu Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thinking about fitting genuine facelift LED rear lights to my estate (pre-facelift model). Problem is I have already changed headlights to black ones from Zetec and tinted side indicators. New rear lights will be white. Not sure if it will look ok all together. Maybe I should change headlights back to silver ones or simply stay with standard head lights? What do you think? My car is sea grey. Some googled photos to give you the idea: standard rear light vs LED facelift light LED lights turned on So what do you think about it?

Preee Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 facelift ones look better on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidu Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Cheers mates. Black front, white rear....... I'm not sure if this is good combination and it's the only reason I'm asking you for your advice / opinion. LED lights look great in the night, but why ford did no smoked instead of white :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Go for the rear lights. I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidu Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks for your opinions. Lights bought, should receive them within next few days. I think it will be nice mode as you don't see many estates with rear LED lights, honestly speaking I haven't seen any on the streets.

Pidu Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks Lenny. I used to wrap lights with tint film for my friends but I do not want it on my car for many reasons. Will fit new lights in due time and then decide about headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidu Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 The results are good, very good if you have skills to do it, but I don't want it because it is not legal, in case of accident it may cause a lot of trouble - I don't need that kind of things. I'm too old :D prefer peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidu Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Rear LED lights and new rear wiper arm fitted. Car looks different, possibly younger........ I like it. Will post some photos as soon as weather improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamp Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 personally I think those black headlamps make the car look like its got guyliner on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_IRE Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Do get the pics up the facelift light look well on it. Id agree with Lenny tho a smoked rear set would got very well especially with the dark body. Try put pics up also of the headlights to see what they are like mate. If the standard black ford ones they'll look well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ford did LED rears for the MK2.5? Really? Never seen them at all on any MK2/MK2.5 ever! They look cool though, tempted to find a pair my self! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidu Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 It is easy to recognize them - they have criss-cross texture (rectangles) instead of honeycomb one. People often don't know what they are selling and you can get them cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
