garetheves Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Had an idea for my rear lights the other day and thought id give it a go seeing as it was such nice weather. Orriginally i was going to swap the red lenses from a spare set i have for the indicators and reverse lights but this proved a pain in the arse due to them being different sizes so i decided just to tint them. While they were open i painted them "facelift" style. Have put one on the car to show a comparison, what does everyone think. All i need to do now is get hold of some orange bulbs for the indicators and will just not have to reverse in front of the police (red reverse lights), unless i can get a very bright white bulb but even this will prob still shine red. Oh well. If its gonna cause problems i think i might just keep these for shows and just "facelift" my current set for every day driving. http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/6172/17vy1.jpg http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/4387/22rf.jpg http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/3336/38ki.jpg http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/1828/40rr.jpg So what does everyone think then?? Yay or Nay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Sorry I looked at them and they didn't do anything for me, normally its a "WOW they look great" or "OH NO its absolutely ruined it". So I would have to say nay. But say yay to the colour of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupra Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think they look alright, but they could be a tug, any following copper can see there's no reverse lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Reverse lights arnt needed to pass an MOT as its not a legal requirement Just a bit of info there So a copper would have no grounds to stop me for having mine covered up. Just the indicators?? Thats a cool thing to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think they look great on a red car, but like you said, would be worried about getting pulled AND worried that the indicator isn't bright orange enough for people to see you pulling over.
