Have been going back and forth about which colour to order for an Alpine White Zed, was close to ordering the smoked ones, but then saw these on Instagram that convinced me. These are the clear & red version on a mineral white Zed. I think they look much better than all the aliexpress marketing photos so I’m looking forward to getting my hands on them in 2 weeks.

I've just collected a 10 plate today from another forum member and see that both rear light units have quite a few odd cracks so might need to be changing mine too. Mines is Sapphire Black and the clear ones would be the ones I'd go for too. I'm just out in Peebles so would be keen to see how you get on v marshMA10's experience.

Frustratingly, after ordering and paying, I got a message from the seller that they're out of stock of the clear/red ones, and only have the clear/black ones. I decided to cancel the order for now, but have been mulling whether the black ones might be ok... there's a few pics of a white Zed with the black version of the lights on, but its got a body kit and spoiler on it, so feel like it might fit that car better than an OEM car. Will think on it.

Very frustrating, to be honest I was pretty shocked how smoothly the purchase went given the horror stories of AliExpress generally. Good luck with the hunt.

Otherwise, decided I'm 100% on keeping mine; so going to put the OEM refurbed ones up for sale on the forum and then FB etc. shortly after. Anyone who wants a set please let me know.

There are multiple sellers of this product aren't there?
When I had a look there seemed to be a few.

I can’t find the all clear ones anymore though, they looked pretty cool!

There are but the other sellers were charging significantly more for the same lights, so I'm waiting for more stock.
