just finished a new set as the other were looking a bit tired
also striped the reverse light so it looks redbut still flashes orange when i use the indicators
made the old place of indicator a running light now as well
dont expect anyone to like them but its different

ive got diy red rear lights (not done by me) and yours look a million times better, mine look shite, especially since i slipped with a grinder and gouged them. but yeah i think they look good mate

indicators are moved to wherethe reverse lights are (at moment i have no reverse lights however they are not a legal requirement)
wherethe indicators were i have put a side light
they the same as my last lot on nemo but now with running lights on sides and an all red illusion
indicators still flash orange
Ԛ£30 will see you have a set if you send me a set of lights and that will include orange bulbs and a wireing diagram to relocate the indicators

They look the nuts fella

I've got a spare set at home, and tried to do them my self, they came out

So they've been sitting in the shed for a while. What could I use to get the old spray off?? and what's the best sort of spray to use on them when I do get to do them?? Gotta get that shine!! I like the idea of doing the side repeaters too....

not sure about the spraying
but white spirit to get it off, i find it unbeatable

when I get off my lazy arse I'm gonna red out my spare pair, but will be keeping the reversing lights as standard.
Really just wanted to post up and say how nice that motor of yours looks Richy. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? PM me if u don't wanna say on here. What are the wheels also?

Nice job.
I once used solvent on light clusters and it melted the plastic......so might need to be careful which solvent you use if your thinking of doing this.

They look great, the striping of the reverse light is a brilliant idea

sounds like you have a little sideline there mate! ill look out for a spare set of lenses, any chance you could do me a set?
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2005 6:33 pm
by E30BeemerLad
just out of interest to people on the look out for some spare lenses, I paid Ԛ£5 + Ԛ£5 postage for a set from Scott325se. Don't know if that was proper bargain basement price just cos he wanted shot of them or if that's the going rate?
What are other people paying?
Just got to mask mine up and get spraying
will of course post up before & after pics
