Hi all.

Got a Carabic Blue Corsa and I reckon some smoked lights would set it off nicely indeed as I plan to anthracite the wheels at some point too.

Now are smoked healights and rear clusters legal? Or do I need some "E" marking to say they're legit?

Finally where is the best place to buy? I've only just got the car so got to find all the best sources for bits for it now

Cheers!

this man will sort you out with both sets.

also regarding being legal, so long as you get rhd front lights there shouldn't be a problem, but most smoked rears need reflectors to be fully legal. never had a problem with mine tho and it went thru MOT ok....

E markings do help however.

Cheers Mark. Looks a decent site. Just need to decide if they're worth such a premium as the car was only £650 lol

end of the day they seem to hold value reasonable well, so can always sell seperatly, smoked lights seem to sell quickly too.
