I am looking to see what are all of the options I have available to replace the tail lamp assemblies. These are the ones I know of so far...does anyone know of any others before I make a decsison.

Clear Tail lamps: http://new.minimania.com/NewMiniSear...p;ShowIcons=No

Clear Tail lamps: http://www.mossmini.com/cgi-bin/db2w...t?PlateID=6652

Altezza Tail lamps: I saw them but can't find the web site again that sells them.

* I think the two above are the same.

I saw a post about some cool lights from VMaxx. Anyone know anything on these?

Tinted Stock: http://www.mini-madness.com/item.htm...p;PRID=1302224

Thanks in advance,
CST

Just found the link to the Altezza lights and wanted to add it.

If anyone knows of more lighting options please let me know.

If anyone as a picture of an Indi Blue MCS with any of these tail lamp options I would like very much to see a picture.

Thanks,
CST

An option that me and Mightyminiz were rolling around was to paint the silver part of the altezza lights body color. I think there are some pics in the gallery, but here is a link to a thread. Painted Altezzas

Where do y'all put the red reflectors to keep the car street legal? Or is that like the front license plate thing?

If using the clear tail lamps the red reflectors are suppose to go on the rear bumper. Many people do not actually put them on except when taking the car in for inspections. Not saying this activity is safe or right but it is common.

The problem of the Vmaxx tail lights is, that they are not street legal at this time. The new version must be modified to be selling it. If we know more about these lights we will post the news here. Or register to our newsletter.....

It's Funny... Sometimes Prototype models never make it out, or wait until they hit a certain Number of orders....

Like that Breyton kit at MiniMania, allegedly this kit is unavailable ... and not know when will be available....

DAMN!!

CTD-Germany:

I know that there are several people on other forums looking for vintage rally style screens for the front headlights if you want ideas for other products.
