They look good...where did you buy them from? Can you share a close up pick of the edging?

Be aware that no one can see you're indicating and it'll be an MOT fail. Does look good though. Maybe lamin-x works better than what he used, perhaps the op can shed some light on the matter :oops:

Looks good on a Red car, plus I can imagine on other dark solid colours. Can't picture them improving the looks of a silver Zed though. :) Any photo shoppers out there.

I've got the same overlay from Zpost - what do you mean by "no one can see you're indicating"? The indicators still blinks and shines right through the film perfectly fine. It just light up red instead of amber, that's all.

Most of the english population are unable to comprehend the indicator lighting up in red I found sadly. It's also illegal here, shame as it does look better.

Got it from Lamin-x in the states. Cost quite a bit but you can probably get it cheaper locally here

They do transform the look a lot. Thanks

You will be pleasantly surprised. I first saw the below pic and it made my mind up for me :driving:

Looks good whatever the colour.

Apparently if u get green indicator bulbs with the red overlays they will indicate orange again. The green bulbs can be found on eBay. Looked into this when I had mine on. But never bothered and took the overlays off.
