Smoked rear lights
Smoked rear lights
I am aware there are different shades. Grey, green and red. Am I right?
My question is what tint should I get for the white 16v I have taken on? My guess is grey - or possibly red.

I prefer the dark grey tints.
You can see the difference they make if you compare mine and Adrian E's in this topic:

Mine's a Phase two, and currently has Ph.1 style (pre facelift) rear lights that go with the tailblazer. But I want to return the car to fairly original condition, so I'll be removing the tailblazer and fitting the later tinted lights.
My question really is; would the out-of-the-factory tints have been grey? I imagine that's the case.
Even so, to be honest, like you I prefer the grey...

Green tints worked on the Triton Phase 2 that I had.
Red tints shouldn't be seen on any
The standard light patterns are very 80's in their styling IMO.
The dark tint is subtle
By the way: If you are taking it off, do you want to sell me the tailblazer

The tail blazer is indeed damaged (there's a bit broken off) but in otherwise good condition. The good news is I found the broken portion in the boot and it's a simple - and what should be fairly invisible - repair.
Tim Leech has first dibs on it, but if he decides against it I will be offering it up on the forums I frequent....
Assuming it comes off in one piece!

Liz wanted the Tailblazer for the BX GTi, but I said NO.
Re: Lights... Swap for the Tailblazer, Tim? (I don't have a good pair of these tinted lights... actually the ones on my GTi aren't a particularly happy match either...)

No particular worries, Tim. It's just that if I do get another BX, they usually have mismatched or damaged rear lights in my experience! No rush. And if you want to sell them to a more needy cause then fine.
I will have a bash (not literally) at the Tailblazer later this week.
