the page somehow no longer exists... basically it's a clear lense but not like the lexus items... kinda like the foggy white lens deal (if you can picture it).

Hey,

They are illegal in Australia.

The break lights needs to look and show that it's red even when it's not on.

So a fully clear lights are no longer legal in Australia for some time now.

Believe me I know as I used to work for a car accessories shop.

Cheers,

thanks for the info,
so basically there needs to be a red reflector in the light housing to make them legal for street use?

GPXXX can't picture it.

Does there need to be a red reflector or do you just need to be able to see (even if faintly) the red bulb?

Yeah i agree, why do we want to looks like other brands of cars, are we saying they are better styling then FTO??? If so why bother to have an FTO to start of with?

Actually Quad round lights would lok very mean at night.

Its not about looking like a skyline, it about liking a specific design which you would appeal to you and yes skylines happen to use it too.
