Your vote: bubble lights or existing red/clear lights

[cisco]

I just sold the bubble rear clusters to Snoopy, but while I was out there removing them, I thought I was put them on blue monster just to see how they looked.

At first I LOVED it. Then I had a change of opinion thinking they kind of don't suit the factory-on-steroids theme I want to go for. They kind of make the car look like an autosalon again. I think they go together with the lightweight rims really well, but don't think they will suit the hubcaps and steelies as well once I get those..

Your thoughts??

This is the existing lights:

I like the red/whites better. They are a bit more subtle, I dont like all the colours on the bubble ones.

 

[CMF_eM]

I like the red and white ones

The red/white one's do suit blue monster better,but i really want some of those bubble lights myself.

Do the clear/red lights have an inbuilt red reflector? The bubble lights do. The lights need to have this inbuilt reflector to meet Australian Desing Rules (ADR's).
If the clear/red lights don't I would definately go for the bubble lights because the are legal. Beside this I personally like the bubble lights and they are GENUINE NISSAN that's good enough for me.

Your totally right micrat, but when i noticed this myself i started to check out some other rear lights on newer cars and some of them with factory clear lights (similar to Lexus) didn't seem to have the reflecters in them.

I think if you don't have the reflecters in the rear lights you have to have them in your rear bar for safety reasons.

Your right Tony there has to be a red reflector on each side at the rear of the car. I think that add on reflectors would look out of place, I think reflectors inbuilt in the lights is more tasteful- my opinion

Hi Cisco, It's all a matter of personal taste but I prefer the red/white lights on your car rather than the bubble ones.

The bubble ones are a bit "bling bling" for me. While the red/white ones look classy (well in my opinion anyway).

Factory K11's in Taiwan have similar 2 & 1 bubble versions of the above. I like the look of the 1 bubble version. It's found on the latest facelift. Red lights are LED.

Cheers.

Yeah I think I prefer the red/clear for Blue Monster.

I think it depends on the colour of your car.

I really liked the bubble lights on the white super s, because white is plain, so its like it needs the added colour to give some contrast.

But blue monster's paint job is already a bit bling, so adding too much extra from the bubble lights overdoes it I think.

I think the bubbles look better personally.
