New Rear Lights...
.........sort of!!
Due to the fact that STI lights are so bloody expensive I thought I'd have a go at trying something different.
I bought a can of red light tinting spray and these are the results:

I'm really happy with the results and think it makes the car look a lot cleaner.
What are your thoughts?

I got the same result using tinting film from Rockblocker. Orange bulbs still flash red unfortunately, but I've had no problems with police or MOT in 18 months.

I put Sti rear lights on my wagon and decided to fit orange LED bulbs to make sure they flashed orange, but didn't look like fried eggs when turned off.
The LED bulbs did not work....they made the indicators flash at double speed, like a bulb was out.
I went for the Philips Silvervision bulbs in the end and they were orangey enough for crows! (Kia Ora)

I bought the tinting spray from ebay (do a search). If costs about £10 delivered but I'm sure you can get it from Halfords.
I think I'll leave the bulbs as they are and see if I attract any attention from Mr. Plod. Thankfully due to my job I know most of the local Police.
