red tint spray for rear lights £6.90 DIY job - pics

[stevemed]

UPDATE:

got sick of driving 300 miles at a time trying not to indicate for fear of getting pulled by the feds with the RED indicators!!

thanks to the people commenting on this thread a quick 0.99p fix has helped. Cheers guys

99p apple green nail varnish from ASDA's own range (other nail varnish is available ) two coats of this on the clear bulbs has had a dramatic effect on the colour.

i.e. its now orange!!! - yipeee

and yes i did feel a bit of a prick buying nail varnish!!

Looks very nice!

Can't quite get my head around what happens to the Reversing lights though, Do they not show at all, or are they just an odd colour?

Just to add to the mix - did mine with the smoked tint, same problem and had to laquer.

Think the red looks really good, but I was trying to tie the tail lights in with the side repeaters and front indicators

[robsy]

does this green nail varnish deffo work?
How bright is the light when indicating ?
is it bright enough?

Any pics of it when flashing would be great...

Looks good, I used the same stuff on my current and previous E30. First time I used it I did it in the house and used a hair dryer to dry them and they turned out very shiney and smooth. This time, not so good but does the job

[Kemix]

Oh, my bulbs are painted with flourecent green nail varnish and they flash orange-ish Bright to.

[robsy]

my only worry is i want it to flash bright - i was thinking of geting some LED bulbs and then varnishing these to keep them bright??

[Kemix]

Good idea.

This is mine, sunlight shining through left hand side, looks a bit dodgy

[e30topless]

[adit]
