I have chrome rears too - hard to see benefit in pic's but I know they provide a much cleaner look.

Those tailgate bulbs look so much better also..........I left mine as once I startred I would want to do all white interior items & a fair few to replace.

Then there's mirror housings plus plate bulbs &/or even brighter reverse bulbs. Mindful of fault messages if wrong bulbs sourced for external bulbs (excluding the mirror housings).

Looks great fella :thumbsup: though i'm not a fan of the darker rear windows with the front being way lighter jmo of course ;)
I love the dark tints but not being able to do the fronts makes it too big a contrast for me.

Pics Fine here.

Wilkoturbo - Thanks for sharing.

If you get a chance it might be useful for others if you list bul info such as quantities types & sizes - either jere or on another thread. Any links to cost effective suppliers might also be appreciated.

I can split thread later if so required/desired

Testing my memory here I have llisted all interior bulbs plus the door mirrror downlighters.

2 trunk
4 doors
2 under rear seat
2 front footwell
2 dome
4 reading
1 glove
2 door mirror

Non white bulbs, (such as tray & door handle lamps), not included.
