garetheves Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I know if you do a clear lens conversion, the clear lenses are too small for the brake lights and you have to modify the bit it fits into (excuse the non-technical lingo, it is Friday night after all) but has anyone tried the opposite, trimming the light lenses. If so what was used. Cheers. EDIT: Yay, 2000 posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 the clear lenses from uk spec are the same size as j spec brake lights, problem solved, just need 2 sets of uk and 2 sets of j spec:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah they have a knack of doing that dont they. Im not after clear lenses anyway, im after fitting red ones into the indicator and reverse slots but they are too big, but dont fancy hacking the lenses to bits without a bit of guidance first.

mr lover Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 just realised that the uk spec red lense on the inside is same size as j spec indicator and reversing light so you could do it with 2 sets of each:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Gareth, if Jon can't help you then I might have a couple of red one's lying around after my clear conversion Cheers mate, ive got all the lenses i need, the problem is getting them to fit in the space where the clear and orange ones fit. The red lenses are bigger than the other so they wont fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well I think you need UK rears as the reverse and indicators(both small) are in the same place as the fog light on the UK ones. 2 UK rears aren't going to be cheap though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DON Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 iv got a set of uk rears and another set coming soon cos iv wanted to make mine all clear since i got the car so il have some red uk lenses going soon:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
