Default Tinting rear indicator lights?

Seen a couple of pics of members cars on here with the orange rear indicator lenses tinted, can someone tell me if its easy to do yourself? I presume its just the normal tinting spray that you can buy in halfords that is used?

Got any pics of them at all mate? Were the rear clusters easy to get off and the other parts of the lights easy to cover up?

Cheers!

Daft lad - I've done mine. It's easy as easy. Most of the time is in preping i.e. masking properly and letting the coats dry! (3 thin coats).

Have a closer look if you see the car around town.

Your gonna laugh at this, but...

Take the lights out, and stretch a black stocking (not fishnets ) over them, pop 'em back in and Bingo!, black lights, let loads of light through when they're lit up, and easily reversible if you don't like 'em.


Try it. Just watch out for those ladders
