DodgyRog Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 :)Finished my rear indicator conversion at last:) Followed this http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35632&highlight=rear+cluster+conversion but did find that I had to leave them in the oven a lot longer than it said, but I eventually found that turning the oven upto 150 degrees and leaving for 15-20 mins seemed about right. I also wraped mine in a towel to stop any of the plastic coming into direct contact with the oven ( missus would of killed me if it had melted over the oven:twak: Anyway very happy with the outcome, no orange bits front or back now;) and I have added the horny Toyota badge as well:d Thanks to Keron for sorting the Lens etc for me, many thanks mate:d If the member who sold me the damage back light at Japfest reads this, sorry, but I thought you had brought it down from Keron's place. Say hello here as I spoke to so many people about getting broken back light clusters that I don't know who you were, really sorry:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 That looks ace. Nice symmetry AND you're rid of the orange blight. How much were the parts you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) That looks ace. Nice symmetry AND you're rid of the orange blight. How much were the parts you used? I managed to get 2 broken rear lights, which cost me £5 for 1 and I had a broken bolt clip thing on my passenger light so got 1 off Keron plus the other broken 1 for £28 including postage, but when I separated them I kept my own perspex covers as they were in really good condition. So............... £32 for light lenses and passenger light £5.40 clear sealant ( Homebase ) £9.99 Silvertec chrome bulbs ( Halfords ) £7.49 Sanding drill bit and about 4 hours of my time and a fair bit of gas:rolleyes: Total of £54.88 I am now thinking about doing the red ones clear as well;) like zap's car below but this will cost alot more to do:( Edited June 7, 2008 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
