Cool Even GT5 Prologue's MY08 STI lights are tinted

Popped out and bought GT5 this morning and ran it up on the old PS3, got the credits to buy the new STI in WR Blue, like mine will be , and marvelled in the amazing high def reproduction but then couldn't help but notice the rear lights have a medium smoke tint to them... even the gamers recognised the rear lights as standard are not great, and I do agree that they work the least well (for me) on the car. I've seen a few pics from US sites off film they put over to change the colours and also the Litchfield red efforts, not sure how they are done... but all look better imho than the stock efforts. I'll be keeping an eye out on decent aftermarket jobbies, films don't appeal to me or painting them.

I have found reason for the rear lights !!! is all about lost in translation



If you change :- "The rear light look like F***** dogs dinner, gay and chav"

from english to Japaneese = "sono ato ranpu shisen douyou kannouteki, kirabiyaka ken kaisekiryouri "

Then translate that back to english = "The rear lights are like a S3xy banquet, happy and fashionable"


So they think we love them

What doesn't help I don't think is the UK red splodge for the fog light, I'd be happier if it would be a silver background like the jdm's - not sure how the Litchfield one does this, can you get away with just a red bulb in it?
