Riley 0 Posted December 11, 2006 8) Ye old fk rear lights have gone,felt good sticking the standard fitment ones back in actually! lot better fit...after some tweaking of course :D Also smoked another spare standard set i had...gonna try these on tommorow...think i prefer the reds already though?

Goldie 2 Posted December 11, 2006 Those smoked ones do look good, interested to see what they look like on the car. Did you find the fittment easy, not got round to doing mine yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Aye. 8) I stuck the sticker on somewhere near,same amount sticking out all round.Smoothed out from the center,and in the oven at 100c for 8 seconds...remove and stretch round the corners/over the sides. Kept doing that until they were stretched/stuck all nice and tight,then cut the excess off. Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Riley, whats the flash like will you need a green bulb? Looking good mate :) EDIT just read your other post :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Not sure on the reds yet, undecided as to go with tinting my FK's top half or using the red film on them as quite like the crystal-look (or just flogging them on), or tinting the top-half of the spare set I have black as on my old white G60 (see pics below, think they loved ace on it) or getting another spare set of standard lights and using the red film on them, decisions, decsions.........maybe I will do all three, LOL! Think th all-red looks goo on the black though mate, nice one ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Aye,i know what your saying m8 :!: Im still in the same undecided position :lol: ive got the smoked ones on now...and i dont think i like em as much...but tbh the crystals are off the menu for me,hate how they forever get full of shat in the nicks.Although they do look good! Not sure on yours...theres a white porsche 968 near me,all reds obviously and it looks awesome with the white paint 8) Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted December 12, 2006 looking very 8) but what colour do the indicators flash :lcop: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Indicators flash orange with with the top-tinted lights I did, and reverse showed fine as well, no need for lines on the reverse light portion to be left untinted. She passed an MOT no probs and I never been stopped by old bill in either rado ! BTW that's my old white G60 in the pics above, not long after it's full respray, thought it looked real good with the tinted lights and dark tinted windows etc. My new G60 is Subaru sonic blue in colour, and have only ever had the FK crystal-smoked on it, which am not sure bout now (whatever happens they will be getting cleaned and dechromed when I get her back and on the road !).

Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Ahhh...presumed you currently had the white one! :D I wanted the smoked fk's for mine,but ended up with the clear tops instead... Oh,i managed to try the smoked lights earlier...prefer the reds i think. :? And minging car again :( Also managed this,but it went dark way too quick!

The Hub 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Riley, same question as before, whats the flash like through the smoked? I think I'd prefer the smoked for my C but do agree the all reds suit yours better, might just order both aswell though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Sorry m8,presumed you were asking the tartanjudge :oops: The smoked indicaters flash orange with the normal bulbs 8) Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Did you try the fog/indicator back on the car to see how they effect the brightness of the light? Im worried that i have spent all that money on a uprated loom and high wat t bulbs just to make it dull as fcuk again with these :lol: oh well it will look good 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2006 :lol: New pics added! Rob,i did plug em in to test,and the fogs seem to give a slight blue/purple light...still just as bright though id say :D And the indicaters flash orange! :D And my in built side lights still show! Gonna stick em on tommorow and see how they look,oh...has anyone else painted around the sides of the fogs/indicaters black? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted December 13, 2006 All reds get my vote... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riley 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Ok,Three more tweaks to come and then that'll be it for a good while. Need to sort out a leccy problem (constant flat battery),and give it another full service,and then at a later stage...maybe end of next year start on the interior. So last few tweaks,gonna cross em off as they happen hopefully :!: 1/New wheels/tyres/bits are on their way.Cant wait for these :D 2/Something silly at the front end.Could go horribly wrong... 3/Something silly under the bonnet.Could also go horribly wrong... Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil. None of these managed yet :( Although the new wheels are currently being built/refurbed to my spec :D cant wait to get em! So ive been itching to do sommet in the mean time :lol: New richbrook slant top gearknob and leather gaitor. 8) Pics dont do it justice,and its really shortened the shift as it sits really nice and low :D !
