Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    What do you think of this idea:

    Tinted taillights



    I freakin love the idea, but wouldn't know how to open the cluster up and tint only the red parts.

    Ps. This is only photoshopped using red-eye reduction.

      LOL I knew someone would pull the ricer card out. And while I agree, I can justify it by not tinting them black, just dark red (similar to R32 lights).

          to me, it makes the non tinted parts stand out too much.

            Go for it, its a considerable improvement in my books, and it blends in with the theme of the car.

                    *yawn* individuality obviously doesn't run very strong in the MKV forum... oh wait that's right your all over 40
                    Don't worry Maca, I'm pretty sure they're all just waiting to get their superannuation to get into the mod bug...

                      LOL.. I don't mind it. I think the lights are a bit darker on the R36 than the std Passats, but not as dark as in Maca's pic. Looks good on mine.

                        Maca, i reckon that'd look pretty cool, itd match perfectly with your front grill.. but before anything, you need to get those bumpers colour coded...

                          That reminds me, when I got my bumper replaced the beater cut an old section out and sprayed it for me. If I can find it, I'll post a few pics up of what it looks like

                          Yeah the R taillights are darker than the standard model, and I think they looks tops. Don't know if I'd go completely black though, maybe just dark red.

                              The chrome stands out too much when you go too dark. Also I doubt that you could get the lights apart without damaging them plus any darkening wouldn't be consistent.
