tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
Autotuning affects all areas of the vehicle. Starting with the body, through the interior, to technical changes to the engine and other components to increase performance. The masses attach importance to the fact that in the end the car basically retains the characteristics of the original model and is still as individual as possible. The most obvious type of tuning are changes to the bodywork that are immediately apparent and stand out from all other models. One element that can be modified are the taillights, the headlights and the turn signals. There are many different variations. From a simple exchange to a completely new design, for example in the rear area. A plug & play option here is the use of clear glass taillights and indicators.
What are clear glass taillights and turn signals?
Older vehicle models have plastic lighting and indicator covers. These were colored in the prescribed luminaire colors. The clear glass taillight is what the name says, clear clear glass or plastic. Thus, the inside of the tail light is recognizable because the cover is transparent. The clear glass cover for taillights and turn signals are also available in tinted versions, so that gray to black clear glass covers for taillights and turn signals are also available. Also exotic colors, such as blue and the like are available.
Advantages of clear glass taillights and turn signals?
An advantage of the clear glass cover for taillights and turn signals is that the emitted light appears stronger and fuller. Thus, the warning lights of the brake light and turn signals are better perceived by others. Furthermore, this type of covers appear nobler and more modern in contrast to the classic plastic cover. A clear glass cover can give the overall picture of the tuning object an even better appearance. Also, clear glass covers, due to the wider range of different tints and colors, can be better integrated into the overall picture of the car.
Disadvantages of clear glass taillights and turn signals?
A disadvantage of the clear glass cover is that they are more susceptible to scratching and damage. Also, they offer a mirror surface that can lead to irritation of other road users, depending on the angle of light and product. Also, the cost of replacement or repair is often higher than the classic plastic covers. Another disadvantage is that when changing from a plastic cover for taillight and turn signal and the corresponding lights and inner mirror must change. A simple exchange is not possible. For this one needs almost always colored bulbs which must of course be approved. From time to time, however, clear glass luminaires also have small covers in front of the bulbs which are responsible for the color orange, red or white. If the taillights do not have a red reflector, a separate one must be installed.
Clear glass taillights and indicators - what to look out for?
When using clear glass taillights and blinkers, make sure that they are in possession of the so-called E-Mark are. Only in this way can it be ensured that these are permitted on public roads and can thus be used. Furthermore, it should be checked whether the desired model has a Zualssung specifically for the respective vehicle and thus according to the default StVZO can be installed. If you install new taillights with clear glass, you change the entire package of cover, bulbs and mirrors. In modern vehicles, this is not always easy because of the technology, as the new light package must also be compatible with the on-board system to avoid annoying error messages or malfunctions.
