Weekend off work so thought I would sort out and finish my rear lights off.
The current collection is as follows,
Top left - LHD/Euro spec
Top right - UK OEM
Middle left - UK OEM (tinted reverse & indicator)
Middle right - LHD/Euro spec (tinted fog & indicator)
Bottom left - Half clears, slight discolouring, potentially sprayed at some point?

Following a couple of hours wrapping this moring we now have these,
Although by no means perfect (very pleased myself though!) the final result has turned out great, especially comapred to buying a set of 4 spots. I believe the lights originally cost me £50, £5 or so in red tint film and a few hours this morning

Good job. A set of these makes so much difference to the rear of a pre-facelift car. I did mine from a set of clears too but used red spray tint. Same end result and I love that the orange is gone.

Nice work on the wrapping! I tried doing that to the same set of lights and failed miserably ended up spraying with red tint spray and clear lacquer on top.

Less than a year later and the red tint film has faded so much it is barely visible in some areas
Time to re-wrap with a better quality material
