Fitted my diy smoked bosch this morning

[doughboy]

Big thanks to MrLee for the guide and to Eko for the inserts.

The job wasn't too hard, but I did manage to crack one of the lenses when heating/prying it off.

I think the result is pretty good, matches the colour of the car quite well.

Still not sure yet on the indicators though, maybe too dark?

they look sweet mate

you know where i am if you want to do me a set!!

[Greeny]

They look very nice buddy. Very subtle

[mrLEE30]

you are welcome and they look great.... clear lenses look much better IMO as i did what you did and smoked the inside of the indicator.... have a look at the two one with your effect and one with clear...i think the clears look fresher

[eko]

Glad you got it sorted

Look very nice mate!

(still got a bag load of precut X`s if anyone want any,slight modification need though )

Didnt do them myself.A mate did them when he worked in some metal factory last year.
He machine cut loads of them only to find out that the template was `slightly` wrong
In the end he just gave them to me for doing some work on his car!

oh ok mate just that when i did mine they was not 100percent the same( left and right) and planning on re opening my lights and re doing them thought you had bought them from somewhere .

[rayb]

They look brilliant! All of them...! Ahhh think im going to have attempt this next weekend

Excellent guide by mr Lee

Just worried about cracking the lense

[chicken]

im really stumped by these!

i love them think they would look ultra mean on my diamond scwartz IS but i just cant get my head round the doin it

anyne wanna do them for me? lol

[xstreamnetwork]

there not to hard once you open them up and if you do crack the lense just pop down the dead car yards and pick up a new set and start again. i cracked too lenses to do mine...but worth it in the end even installed angel eys and hid conversion and got the mot the other day passed with flying colours

Instructions in the 'articles' section at the top of the page, inserts available from Eko, as above!

As others have said, it's not a difficult job, just takes a while... Mine have stood up to 18 odd months use, with no probs. & they look gooooood

MrLee - your wheels are lookin sweet

Can anybody get hold of the crosshairs precut, or have any advice on the best way to make them?

[shedrool83]

Here's the template if it's any good.Still needs a bit of modding to fit.

Looking very nice matey,i'd leave the indicators as they are tho,i like em

How much you want for a set fella and what kind of mods do they need?

[eko]

A pic speaks a thousand words



Easy enough to modify them.2 minutes with an angle grinder or 10 minutes with a file will have them fitting nicely
Still got plenty of these so call it £4 posted for 4(enough for one set).

[shane325i]

That'll do me mate,pm me your paypal wotsit

[tari]

I'll have a set too! Paypal?

[tari]

Cheers matey.

Payment sent

[shane325i]

[march109]

Didn't I pay for to sets?

And its ok one set goes on the shelves until I see a wanted ad, or until I buy another e30, which as e know isn't tooo far away. by which time I've had practise at fitting them allready.

[eko]
