New hatch taillights - JMCustoms - 03-06-2012
Now before you guys ask what am i doing for reverse lights, im looking/planning on buying a Euro rear bumper, so reverse is in the bumper.
I myself hate the triangle of the reverse light so i decided to do a full red taillight, my uncles works for a traffic sign company so he got me some of the red clear film, here is what it looks like, took me maybe 10-15 minutes
Left is After, right is before

that looks badass, I myself prefer the dark tinted tails, but that turned out really well. *thumbs up* except one question...how are people supposed to know when you're backing out of a parking space now? lol
RE: New hatch taillights - JMCustoms - 03-06-2012
Its easy, i take my wifes focus haha, hopefully i wont have to wait long for the euro bumper haha
RE: New hatch taillights - sonic_mikey - 03-06-2012
IIRC reverse lights are not required to pass safety in Ontario, they are more of a courtesy/help you see whats behind you type of light, but I'll have to double check on that :S. Anyways, yea they look legit and very OEM-ish lol. Still prefer black-out tho with the reverse left clear like mine
. BTW, i think there 'may' be a group buy coming up for euro bumpers from BAT, but again, dont quote me on that lol
RE: New hatch taillights - JMCustoms - 03-06-2012

B-ritish A-merican T-ransfer, company down in the states that imports all the euro stuff over here. They wont ship the bumper to Canada for w.e reason, and neither will fordpartsuk (iv tried them both). A much older, and much wiser (
) member may be organizing a group buy soon, though I dont want to say any more until its 100%
