Steve,

Just the standard bulbs, They are really not that black, just smoked & the indicator can be clearly seen day or night, I was thinking about higher wattage bulbs.

Been thinking about doing this for months. Now I've seen yours it's a definate.

How long did it take you? Did you build up in layes to avoid runs or did you manage to get it done in one go? Presume you used aerosol not brush on?
