A must do for any supra! i can proudly say that there is not one spec of orange on my car now! not even the bulbs!

Matt H Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Got them from another set of lights. Break those open and use the clear reverseing lights as your new indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yeah all clear would look very nice, but I like it as it is. Large improvement anyway mate - I hate orange too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 looks good mate to do all clears you'll need to find 2 sets of uk rears to destroy, as you need the larger clear lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ive never done this... How long did it take you? Not long, the time element comes from having to heat up each light for 15 mins (4 times) and then twice more to stick the lights back together. so thats 1.5 hours just for that but the actual replacing of the lenses doesnt take long at all. maybe 2 to 2.5 hours all in.

Matt H Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Looks stupid imho, all woudl need to be clear, but as long as your happy mate thats all that matters. Doing that would be very hard as the middle two lights are completely different in size and shape. There would have to be a lot of filing / re-shaping work to get that done. I dont think i would have the equipment to do it myself, but if it was in abilities to do then i would have... but it aint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Looks stupid imho, all woudl need to be clear. Paul (Zap), has his lights like this on his silver Soop, an they look really good. Just replacing the orange lenses for the clear lenses looks better too imo, think this is what i'll end up doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think it looks smashing fella currently have a spare set in pieces too. Did you file any off the clear lens? dont suppose you have that guide to hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 and what's wrong with orange? Your car can't be classed as Orange Lee mate. It's a frikking freak of nature, an unknown alien like colour that has blessed us all. I love it pal But, orange lenses suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 As Jon said to do all clears you need 2 sets of j-spec and 2 sets of uk spec. The 2 red 2 clear does look good especially on a silver car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Certainly is mate. Would be a larger compliment if I could have a go in it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think it looks smashing fella currently have a spare set in pieces too. Did you file any off the clear lens? dont suppose you have that guide to hand? No didnt file anything off the clear but it is a tight fit, but i reckon it helps to keep it wedged in!

fat_controller Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 u can use uk spec lights, they are the right shape for the middle. 2 sets of uk and 2 sets of j spec = full clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
