ExR32 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi all, I have a 91 G60, in LA5Y colour (view my profile for pics). I currently have the M3 style clear crystal/red rear lights, but Im so undecided! I know some say they are cheap looking etc. If you tint your standard lights, which I still have mine, what spray paint is best to use to achieve the all red look? Or, am I better spraying the clear part of my current 'M3' style ones to achieve look? Opinions welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted January 22, 2014 I smoked my clear rears which I preferred to the standard, all reds or Clears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExR32 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Tigerfish, yeh, they are the ones I really like, kinda wish I went for them over the clear/red ones but no budget at present. Looks nice though mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewvw 10 Posted January 22, 2014 He said he smoked his, he had the same as you. Why don't you do that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 22, 2014 I did a spare set last weekend all red, and tbh I don't like them. The red is very bright and kind of 'candy' red, which looked very DIY imo. (Which obviously they were), but I prefer an OE look. If you decided on all red, you need to do the bottom as well or it will look even worse being odd shades. I'm contemplating M3 style with a dark lamin-x tint myself now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExR32 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Lewvw, saw that they just looked original like the ones you can buy as standard in that smoked look he did. Thank seanl82, kinda unsure now really, not too handy with paint and likely to then juet wash it off lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. as Lewvw said, I smoked them myself, the spray can cost something like £7 including delivery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=E-TECH+LENS+TINTING+SPRAY+SMOKE+LIGHT+TINT+LENSE+Black&_sop=15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExR32 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Tigerfish. Was it a hard job? Sorry to sound 'dum' lol, but did you then spray outside? If so, how does it hold up to being cleaned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah, it was easy enough. Just do very light coats at a time as it is very thin and runs easily. Mine are not perfect, but decent enough. You can get the remover to get the stuff off again to either revert back to clears, or to do it again. No problem as far as cleaning the car goes.
