    They are just very cheesy man, something that belongs on a mirage rather then a german auto.

    I think the implication was that they are so ugly that they would offend anyone that looked at the car to the extent that they would call the police and accuse the owner of public indecency...

    Just having a laugh, but srs, pls don't disgrace a mk3 with those ornaments....

    Would you say they are in the same category as those LED strip DRLs most cars seem to have now?

    100% agree, and i'd probably never put them on mine, but its just fun to get a different look sometimes, like "disgrace" or not, i should be allowed to do whatever i want to the car, and as long as i think it looks good then thats all that matters.

    "changing to ebay tails isn't a modification, it's having an ebay account"

    just jumping on the train bro, sorry. If you like them, do it; i've always flirted with the led idea but always end up catching myself......

    Lolololol

    Haha, that's pretty good. Seriously though, it's your car bro. I say chuck them on if you want. Be the guinea pig and if you don't like it change them back or use them to build something different again. Don't let us tell you what you can have on your car.

    +1. To each their own. It's your car and money, also from a visibility/safety point of view, those LED bulbs are a step up from filament bulbs.

    I would almost disagree with that, in this case anyway; too often do I see these china lights giving off poor light from any angle other than directly behind and or partially working/varied brightness between each bulb.....

    but yes, go for it. too many people these days are worried about others opinions, this has crushed the car scene imo; individuality is key for it to thrive! But if you go left field, take a dose of concrete and take on the chin whatever negative feedback comes your way :p

    k11z, 100% with you on poor quality lights manufactured in china. Did not realise that dectane was a chinese product.
    I was referring to the LED's on the latest cars and the aftermarket one's with TUV approval.

    I was just looking to see if anyone had experience with them, because i was keen to try something new. I love my hella smoked tails and id never change them on my daily, but this was just for my side project (which doesnt go on the road might i add...)
    But thanks for the feedback anyway.
