They do look good mate, but nothing like French plates unfortunately. The font on them is different as well. Just for that extra bit of Frenchness I believe HBC's ones are just incredible :)

well after being bored shitless this sunday afternoon. was reading through a few old posts and came across himbigcheifs clear light MOD for the rear.

and since i have a spare set of rear lights thought i would give this a go.

it needs some siliconing , as you can see the clear face bit isnt fixed to the light unit. the front was holding that in but that has to be smashed off like this.

will silicone it soon and see what the finished thing is like. got some clear transparant silicone ready.

and as you can see the face bit isnt fixed to the base anymore :?

I PROBABLY WONT USE THESE TO BE HONEST NOT LIKING THEM MUCH

you cant remove the outer bit without smashing it off.

ive give up on the idea anyway, the clear lenz doesnt sit good with outer lenz missing .

& I can now tell you before you get them that you definitely need the different wheel bolts. You can see from the bottom pic that there is no difference in the hole width halfway down.
