Of course if you fancy being different, then use red spray and keep the reverse light white!

Did the same as above got black lens spray tint from checkpoint they sell all colours red, black, blue ect £10 a can .Do not need to use laquor as this spray leaves a shiney gloss finnish .Applied about 6 coates to each .

ps looks great a lot cheaper than sti lights

scoobygav555,

The spray can be bought from here for £11.99 inc postage

The best way to do it is to laquer them because the tint spray wears off after a while and will eventually go dull trust me i know from experiance on other cars..!! You will get a better finish using laquer and it seals the tint spray alot better...

I just did a few coats... I put the hazards on in between coats so i could see if the indicators can be seen ok, just a warning make sure you have some good light to spray them in, because when i sprayed mine i reversed my car out the garage in full light and you could still see the orange..!! I then waited for the tint spray to dry and applied about three coats of laquer..
