Tasty taillights...anyone installed?

[Chipped]

Saw these on Carshine.com.au.....

I think theyre all a step backwards from the OEM ones unfortunately

[GoLfMan]

tinted OEM ones would be horn

please.....Noooo! You only see them on RICE not VW. have to agree with Tim on this one. well everyone is entitled to their own opinion... JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART!


Installation wouldn't be hard I assume, but not sure how the quality will look like though (might not fit properly)

[Whubbsie]

aren't those for the old model Polo?

[Bubu]

They look like $hit. I hate those Lancer ones that every Lancer owner and their dog have. But thats just my opinion...

[KI11Z]

i'd have to say no also but do it if you want i guess? it'll only make your polo look cheap though imo

[FL00DY]

pleaase noooo sauerkraut on your VW. It's your car and you can do what you want with it of course but this will look horrible and every VW person you pass on the road will point and laugh, and we wouldn't want that

Ewwwww.

Get the hella darkened ones if you're gonna change. Chrome is horrible.

really? For me the worst thing (and only thing) I don't like about my white/black Polo Gti is the taillights...Round and red (guess they have to be red) and I dunno looks all kinda retro, almost like a traffic signal...oh hang on I guess that what it is....eeerr umm...tosspot I'll do a search on the Hella Darkened ones see how they look

those rear lights you linked Chipped are horrible IMO.

here is a better pic of the black Hella ones.


and here someone did a quick dodgy photoshop to give some sort of indication what they might look like.....better than OEM ones.

spot on there mate.....you can buy rice for pretty much everything, even as something to eat !

any after-market tail lights on a small hatchback remind me of a suzuki swift i always see at a local shopping centre. the owner has replaced the wheels, headlights, tail lights, spoiler and added some stickers. it's also a burnt orange metallic colour. it doesn't look too bad for what it is: a visually modded ricer. but it only works because the owner has replaced everything.

if you only replace one thing on a car, like just the tail lights, it looks unresolved and out of place. especially on cars that are already well-designed, like our Polos. just my 2 cents
