uk-rich Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 save yourself some cash, take out the orange bulbs, get a tin of silver spray paint. give them a light "dust" coat, another if needed, bulb will look silver. fit them, turn indicators on, holy shit they shine orange ! did this on mine, works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Looking good Got me silver bulbs along with the loom from Envy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGSi Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks all for the kind comments and for the link pete. I may try to spray them first of all as Rich mentioned above and if it goes wrong I shall buy some. Also after speaking with gzaerojon regarding refurbing my lights, he didnt think they looked to bad and recommend using T-Cut on them. Well, they came up almost like new, the amount of dirt and grime it fetched off was unbelievable, so thanks for the tip Jon! I didnt solder them as I have no soldering iron etc and read the guide on here for pointers but once you get going everything is pretty self explanatory - the white wire connnects to the white wire etc. To connect the wires I used male and female spade connectors then insulated them/the wires with some black electricians tape. They are the ebay lights, £33 or £37 or something like that and then got the loom/bulb holders from Paul E @ Miami GT. Only one of the holes which the bulb holder slots into needed modifying which was quite suprising as I thought all of them needed to be ammended. Thanks again, and Sam, I do try Cheers Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Looking good Gaz mate. Did I inspire you to do this then? It was surprisingly easy to do I thought, little bit time consuming as my passenger side headlight was jammed in so damn tight but definitely worth it. It'll look even better with the Silvatecs in mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGSi Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Had the indicators and loom since last year. Just never pulled my finger out my arse to them lol Was starring at the car this morning and thought, there must be something I can do, then I noticed the orange blobs....

Ah the orange blobs, I already forget how rubbish they looked on mine. They are in the process of being given a makeover, to be sold no doubt to someone on here as tinted ones - will look great on a black car.
