As the title really, Just purchased a set of German lights with the clear spot on the opposite side and fancy making my own set of clear spots! Seen How CJ made his and I like :thumbsup:

are you planning on using these lights on your car? if you are then when you put it in reverse the fog light will come on. the solution is simple but it caught me out initialy when i picked up euro/ us set.

Glad you liked the conversion. IT was one of those 'got to be worth a try' projects. All you need to do now is to find a spare German light with a search such as:

Bmw Z4 Rückleuchten

Here's one for instance for E15

Sorry guys I didnt explain myself properly, one of those posts when you know what you mean but no one else does :oops: I already purchased a set of european lights, yesterday actually from flea bay £15! So hopefully I will cut out the clear lense to transport to the new lights that I am now seeking pictured below

Have the above been dis-continued by BMW as I believe they where for sale as part of a clear upgrade! Cheers for that ebay link anyway CJ :thumbsup:

Mate its a lot easier to find the all clear set and spray them.. mine look just like the colour above

All depends if you want to spray the lens or have a perfect OEM set of self coloured lenses. Either will look fine if the work is done well.
 
Thought about buying a clear set then spraying but prefer the oem look, I may balls them up but Im willing to give this DIY job a go :)
 
I have used the tinting spray (to a for a different idea) and it's very easy to use, the finish is spot on as well. Until its lacquered you can easily remove with acetone. That said, if I was doing this I may well find myself doing it the same way as CJ, but not because I think the result with demonstrably better, but just because I'm probably similarly afflicted :|
