dcarrter21 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 im not sure if you can buy them. ive sprayed mine with some normal tint spray. there completly black now and kinda flash more red than orange but look good so i like um. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeh i tinted mine too, bought some of that boy racer light tint spray, they do it in all sorts of colours, or they did, i think its by rage or something like that, just buy black and 2-3 coats and they look great and still shine orange.

supraturbochris Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 yea that i think looks so smart. that exactly how i want mine rather then horrible orange colour. So you think i should just spray them? are they easy to remove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeh but you have to remove the headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 yep just take out the headlights and then 2 bolts hold them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 could you not get some facelift clear ones and spray the inside black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcarrter21 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i managed to take them off without taking the headlights out was awkward thou. just reached around the back of the indicator and undone the 3 bolts, one either side then the top 1 mines as dark as the pic above.does look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 it only takes 5min to get the head lights out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraturbochris Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 daston how do you take the headlights out while we are on this subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 you will have 1 10mm bolt on the inside edge of the lamp (along where the bonnet shuts) There are then 2 10mm nuts on the back on the outside edge (tucked under the wing). I find its easier to unplug the wires before undoing them as you can see a bit more then. They then just pull out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraturbochris Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 would it be easier doing it underneath the car? or is there enough room to get to the bolts on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgun Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 just be careful with tint spray, done this to some indicator lenses on my celica, failed on the MOT the guy made me clean the lenses of all the tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 back in the day of my first car i got pulled by cops after tinting my rear lights with that stuff. not mot legal they told me, obv i wet myself and said okay. i would take you headlights out as it talkes less then 10 mins to whip them both out. 3 screws on each then u have plenty of acess to the indicators. i think ive talked myself into tinting the insides of my new clear indicators, if it goes well i will sort out the headlights the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 have also got my indicators tinted black but never thought of doing the inside of facelift ones! might have to give that a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
