Facelift rear Light Mod?

Recommended Posts

Planning on buying a set of new Facelift rears and wonderred if anyone has done the clear lense mod for the indicators? I bought a old set of J-Specs years ago but never got round to doing it. I have the clear lenses and a set of chromed indicators sat waiting but just wondered if anyone had tried this with facelifts?

 

Main thing I need to check is that the lense sizes are the same?

 

Also does anyone have a photo of the mod done? I'm sure it'd look awesome but it'd be nice to see before I crack open a brand new set of lights. ;)

I've done quite a few of each type, think I even have a guide for it somewhere. If your gonna do the facelift's with clear lense, you need the reversing lenses from another set of facelift lights as the pre-facelift lenses are a different colour, size and pattern. ;)

Looks awesome, cheers for the help guys. Does anyone know if I need to rewire anything when swapping from Standard J-Spec to Facelift fronts and rears? - the side lights are obviously different as the "igloos" aren't present on the newer ones.

 

Other than the sidelights not being there everything else is the same :)
