Guest gzaerojon Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Whoops... it apears that 10 mins at gas mark 6 is too long... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/R3DG3CKO/whoops.jpg doh!! these are sooo delicate, the lenses warp and melt so easily. you need the shortest exposure to heat as possible. what did you melt? :edit: you added a pic. have you got a spare?

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 it's only the outer plastic shell and I have two sets of lights so no harm done (thank god) I've got the clear lenses out of the donor set and just need to take the others apart... once my new bulbs arrive...

Animal Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You need to get hold of another set of rear lights and use the clear reversing light lenses to replace a pair of red brake light lenses. I've not done this, so don't know how much hassle it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) They have, I think Dude did it many moons ago on his car. I forget which trader offers this, but IanR's previous car had indicators (he chose to keep the red lenses - it is possibvle to change them). Edit actually he had LED rears too: Edited April 30, 2009 by SteveR (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rays the roof Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have a spare set of rears if you want me to do the conversion. Cheers Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 94RZ Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6391/photo0021nn8.jpg http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/1743/dsc00070mw2.jpg im surprised no ones done a full clear lens conversion at the back These ones have all the lenses popped out. The problem with replacing all four is that the one with the reflector is an odd shape and really difficult to replace with a standard lense. If you got something custom made, it would definitely be doable. The thing to remember with losing the reflector is that it's probably not going to pass MOT. It gives you an idea of what it would look like though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
