Clear or tinted side indicators?

RG · 23-04-2006, 09:20 AM

As the title says, should I tint the orange ones or go the clear ones. Is there any way of going the clear ones without having to buy all the Fairlane/LTD side body moulds. I don't really like the idea of tinting lights but the orange ones look shocking and i'm just about sick of looking at them.

give tinting them very lightly a go........dont go ape with the spray - just a mist should be fine

i tinted the indicators on my car when i had to use some orange ones (was reversed into ugh) and i laid on the tint spray a "bit" too much lol....... i probably wouldnt do it again to front or rear lights, but side repeaters shouldnt attract as much attention (that said.....i was never pulled over cos of the tinted fronts......- probably should have been though)

My mate has a green Vs and the tinted repeaters looked awesome, would prob only look good on a dark car rather than a lighter colour. If your not happy with the tinted look then go the clears :-)

Hey GreenEL if ratman can do a set for you ask for a set for me as well

That is if they are clear ef/el not some other make just slapped on

Some ppl think an au clear can fit but I dont know - I would rather pay for it and fit it than pay for it modify it then fit it - Cheeers

Can and will do. I know how you feel with not wanting to mod one to fit.

Dezza · 23-04-2006, 06:48 PM

Go clear, definately.

needfordspeed · 24-04-2006, 12:19 AM

GreenEL - Sorry I didn't reply to your pm, forgot! Anyways, "Ratman" IS the guy I got mine off. He's in the ACT and was really helpful. Had mine and installed them within days. They stick on with double sided tape which helps reduce the chance of them being stolen. The std ones just push out. Good Luck

Got to send him an email today.

**Sorted** · 25-04-2006, 11:57 AM

EFDream emailed me pics of his clear before fitting, whilst fitting and after fitting - they look sweet

PM me your email address and I will forward you EFDream's pics

Cheers

EFDream · 08-05-2006, 09:57 PM

Did you guys get clear ones fitted?

**Sorted** · 08-05-2006, 10:21 PM
