Light colour

[S23]

Hey all, having a bit of a problem deciding on what colour to do my front lights. Before anyone says though, I am having yellow fogs, hence why they're in all the pics :rasp: . Just wondered what you lot think?

Blue & Yellow:

Black & Yellow:

Yellow All Round.

Your input would be greatly appreciated, if you don't like any of them then that's fine. But constructive critisism would be nice more than anything. Tied between the Black and the Yellow, but thought I'd do the blue just for a test.

Cheers peoples

I prefer smoked headlamps. But i don't really like the photoshop, probably cause i dislike the yellow fogs. So diss-regard anything i say.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

black.
yellow looks like some kind of bug thing

 

[Pearl_Black]

I dont like anything other than standard light colour..... Good luck with what ever colour you pick!

 

[VeinAST]

I think Im gonna do some murdered lights on mine!

Smoked looks good! Really like the yellow too but the shape of the headlight is such a shame!

 

[Fletcher]

I'd go smoked Shaun.

 

[S23]

Cheers for your inputs everyone, lol at it looking like a bug.

Just made me think of this...

The more I look at it I'm thinking smoked. Thinking all yellow looks a bit too much? Hmm.

 

[S23]

I'd go smoked Shaun.

Cheers dude Think you might be onto something. lol

 

[Luker1990]

I would say go for the blue! The black looks way to harsh as its a light coloured car!

 

[theduck]

standard with silvervisions and spend the moeny on colour coding

 

[Jason_E]

Smoked

Hmm, that is quite a good point mate. Only thing I'm worried about is that it'll look like too much blue? certainly looks a bit better than I initally thought it would

standard with silvervisions and spend the moeny on colour coding

Cheers for the input mate, only thing is colour coding my car will just make it one big mass of colour. Don't think it suits a five door unless it's a saloon or an estate, five door hatches need the bumper strips to break up the colour over the car. My opinion anyway. And as for Silvervision's, I'm gonna be getting some amber illuminating LED's for the front and back so that they look a bit more modern, and clear Plus doing my lights will only cost about 40 quid and an afternoon's work.

Smoked

Hmm, it is getting very tempting

 

[theduck]

Dont see how it being 5 door makes any difference tbh fella.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Standard or smoked! Yellow looks absolutely shite!

 

[Peperami]

Why would you smoke your headlamps? They're what you use to see at night :S

 

[S23]

Just a personal thought on it. Think with the 2 additional doors changes the look of a car and needs breaking up as opposed to blending. Personal taste at the end of the day. Just don't think the blue lends itself to colour coding.

 

[Hixle]

Standard IMO mate, I <3 the look of your car as it is, messing around with your lights will clutter it and make it look less OEM.

All IMO of course dude.

 

[Alexander]

I like the light blue.

 

[S23]

Why would you smoke your headlamps? They're what you use to see at night :S

It only reduces opacity by 13% i think it is? Totally legal anyway

 

[S23]

Cheers man. Glad you like the car. Hmm, I see your point about it actually. Hadn't thought about it like that. Once I've chosen one at least it's not permanent, if I dont like it I can just rip it off again. Then be a bit more standard looking :rasp: lol. Nah but cheers for that dude

I like the light blue.

Another for the blue? Genuinely shocked! lol Cheers dude

 

[Vicky.]

I'd go with standard tbh think it'll look much better.

 

[S23]

I'd go with standard tbh think it'll look much better.

They're so boring though at the minute! lol. Although I do appreciate this would keep it looking more OEM now....Hmphh :S

[Chris205]

yellow fogs ftw mate!!!!!

 

[S23]

Cheers for that find dude. Just doesn't look right to me in the colour that it is . And it's the side profile more than anything that changes. Ha. Does point out that I need an RS grille though! lol

 

[Jordi17]

none, all look to chavvy to be honest, id stick with standards too, with silvertecs.

 

[S23]

yellow fogs ftw mate!!!!!

Ha! Cheers dude. Yellow fogs for definate! Just depends what other to go with it :S lol

Honest question, how does it look chavvy? :S

 

[Jordi17]

honest answer : has no point to it, and doesnt look nice what so ever so cant see a point in it, but each to their own.

Fair enough. Colour livens things up in my eyes. It's a purely visual thing to make it look different. Horses for courses.

 

[Chris205]

thinking about it get yourself some 172 cup headlights and do the fogs yellow mate, i always like clear lenses on the driving lights and does bring more attention to the fogs

I know the yellow headlights is a big thing on the dub scene right now so may be worth a go, its only film and will come off if you want so worth giving it a go

 

[adam172]

yellow as iv never seen it done matching the fogs would look cool i think

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Just gave the flamer a dose of smoked lights tonight and it looks well so id suggest smoked.

In saying that i am defo gonna get pulled its way too noticable during the day and the lights arnt up to much at night. Wonder what the rozzers hand out for having them ??

 

[BIFCAIDS]

the yellow in the chop is too bright bud as youve seen ive got it on my headlights, dont get smoked either as you can get the same effect with the black insert headlights

[Reyes]

ROFL.. Agree'd. Smoked if anything. Though I disagree with it.

I don't see how it's 'chavvy'. Round my end, I've never seen chavs with headlights done like that.

 

[S23]

Cheers for all of your comments everyone.

chris205; I had thought about getting the Xenon headlamps, but they cost to much and the fitting with the ballast and that is all a bit complicated for me. lol.

adam1.4rt; Yea man, yet to see it all yellow myself...still really like it even if it is a bit flamboyant. haha.

T_2_the_C; Have you got any pictures up of it? Would like to see it if you have done

BIFCAIDS; Now I look at it...they are a bit bright aren't they. lol. They look a bit nicer darker as well. I really like your french style headlights TBH. Was looking at some black inserted ones the other day, as I don't like the gray. And it does make them look a lot darker.

Reyes; Thank you for your opinion. I do like the smoked quite a lot, the chop isn't quite how it would look but gives a rough idea.
