Smoked rear lights!?

[Clark]

Where can you get these!? Im sure I remember seeing s2's with smoked rear lights and I think they look seriously good on the dark coloured cars. Aanyone know anything about them?

[alexdu14]

hello,
I've got a pair of ones (i think with dark coloured cars, it is much nicer than red ones), you can easily get some on ebay

[Greg_S]

Treser rear lamps looks very sexy, especially on dark cars

They are a bit pricey, even from us! they are £67.02+vat each. I would think that they DO flash red for sure! I've not seen these 'in real life' but I don't think putting an orange bulb in would work, it'll still flash pretty much a red colour.... beside the orange bulbs, the pins on the bulb are offset and won't easily fit a regular bulb holder. You CAN file off the offset pin on the orange bulb base, but I still reckon you'll have colour problems.

That's two possible BIG mot problem areas....

One other thing to also consider.... I dont think that the US spec lights have fog lights!!!! Maybe one of our US forum guys can confirm this? Peter? Josh??

The bulb holders on USA and Euro Coupes is identical so you know the lights will fit and the bulb holder isn't a problem, maybe that also means the fog light could be worked around also, as I bet the US spec lights are just blanked off with a snap out blank covering the hole where the fog lbulb would go. Thats one of the real easy mods to get two rear fogs lights on the S2! just snap out the blanking bit of plastic, buy a bulb holder and bulb and away you go, two fogs!! the wiring is already there to the second fog! just plug in and go! did mine ages ago.


You just have to get that black sealing cord off by what ever means it takes Doug..... no easy way round that.

Here's an interesting point though.... I've been told by a very reliable source that the S2 Avant all red rear lights are a direct swap with the Audi 80 saloons!!! wierd! but true! I think the Coupe rear lights are bigger than the Avants arn't they?? carn't say I've relly looked that close? If they are the same size..... problem sorted!! use the S2 Avant lights :-), not holding my breath on that one though but worth a look.

I reckon its best to get some input from our US forum cousins, they could whip out the turn signal bulb and see what is inside the rear lamp, could a orange bulb be used to make it flash orange??? or, would an orange bulb then through a red rear light, flash a pink colour?

hope this helps a bit guys...

You can get cheaper ones made by In-Pro. Very similar but you don't pay for a Treser badge. Plenty for sale on Ebay
