   right want to order some lights but went to gsmotorsport web site,
   
   and they have two sets of smoked lights, in the picture there are exactly the same, but one set is 40 quid cheaper.
   
   could same let me no, the difference, and are the cheaper ones poorer quailty.

   ABC are more likely to be E-marked and road legal while the others arent. You do pay for the name (like you do with many things).

   i agree, get a spare set of standards for cheap from a scrap yard £20ish and have a bash yourself! be well worth it! then you still have standards to revert back to when selling!? sorted!

    just out of interest, as im not to sure the laws on it and what have you, are blacked out rear lights a D.I.Y job or would i have to purchase some? Iv tried looking on search engines but all that comes up is smoked lights.
    
    Also is it road legal?
    
    Any info would be helpful cheers

    You may aswell spray them yourself for a fraction of the price.
    If not, you can get them on ebay for 100 sheets.

    the ultra ones on that site will be the best, as its a good light company, but do it urself with some spare lights
