thanks robert..  i checked their website but there isnt a english
version...
can anyone translate german?

I can help here.  The text describes the lens/bulb options.  It's  a
white (weiss) lens with a yellow (gelb) bulb (birne).  The rear lens
(ruckleucht) is black (schwarz).

The thing that strikes me about this site is they're quoting prices in
Deutschmarks (Dm), not Euros, which has been the legal currency in
Germany for close to a year now.  I think this is an old, stale, unused,
page left hanging out there in cyberspace limbo.  The company and
product may or may not still exist.

You can tint clear-coat by mixing in any color you want.  It cuts light
transmission down, making the taillights darker, increasing your chances
of being rear-ended, so you should up the wattage on the taillights,
which may cause heat/melting problems, which.....Are you really sure you
want darkened lenses?
