Where do you get the all red rear tail lights as i cant find any

I got mine off of egay, think it was £5 deliverd and made by savage it think.
You get a big ol can aswell.

They are no longer made by MHW, so second hand, or if you are lucky to find somewhere that still has some in stock. I recently sold the last 2 new sets in the UK on here.

Make some yourself with tint spray as oguz is getting at, guide in the articles section.

Sorry aaz1400, i miss read you original post.
If you cant source some red tint rear lights have a go yourself, alot cheeper and just as good.
Just follow the zone guide, an easy mod

Just to back up what the peeps are sayin ^. I did a set myself and unless I tell people they just wouldn't know. Just make sure you TAKE YOUR TIME and let the coats dry properly between each spray. This hot weather is probably gonna help in that area.

Probably be an idea to change the bulbs or something as my indicators flash red now. Looks cool but I guesss I'll have to make sure I continue in a straight line if cops are ever behind!!

try get some green bulbs

I tried painting the bulbs with the special green bulb paint but just made the flashing duller if anything? So I just kept clear ones in there. Maybe orange or yellow bulbs are the way to go? Or maybe I put too much green paint on? Anyone know the solution for sure?

Sorry aaz1400. Hope I'm not hijacking your post too much.

no mate thats fine i just missed a set on ebay i think ill hav a go a spraying some my self

I've sent you a Private Message

here we can buy proper green bulbs, i have tried it and it does not flash yellow (our primary school art teacher was lying )

my suggestion is to use very thin (5mm wide) masking tape (available in most shops and mask off lines accross the indicator portion and reverse light portion. (look at an older E39 rear light for the idea), the affect will be red stripes which should appear all red from a couple of metres but still flash yellow and white for reverse. someone on the zone has done this and posted pictures in the past.

Hope you get sorted az1400

I did this myself just a couple of weeks ago. It can work a treat, I did find that if you build up the layers gradually and dont lay it on too thick, it still flashes orange but looks red.

If you really want a manufacturered one there are a few around. You'll have to wait until I am back from London before I can post up the link.

IMHO do the home job for £4 tin of paint rather than fork out £130 for ones that look a bit rubbish anyway.

I tried to my own at home, took extreme care when doing them and time too...but they came out pants...probably my own fault tbh but you can't compete with the Real McCoy...they look the nuts and are well worth the cash I paid for them...lower than £130 too
