Well I keep getting bugged about symmetry of lights since I fitted the quads and have been on the lookout for a set ot quad white spot, but they seem rarer than hens teeth, or I’d have to pay about £200 for a German pair and sacrifice one of them.
A reminder of how we started:
Dannyboy pointed me to a set of lights on Ebay that were not quite right, as it had an amber lens too, but I got the pair for £10 so worth punt.
Well they arrived this morning and tonight I had a couple of hours so had a go this evening (instead of helping with dinner)
Right side of the new pair:
First thing was to cut off the lens I wanted from the new set and trim it up.
Next a much braver was to cut the red lens off my light. Oh dear if this went wrong – no real lights
With a skill of a brain surgeon using a trowel, I cut off the lenses, trimmed and paired them up to give me one good light with clear lenses.
And with the lens chopped off ready to be trimmed down:
New lens paired up with my light
A bit of heat welding and a bead of silicone, fit the french fry back and the job was done.
I’d sourced a red fog light with silver coating, so that was easy.
Just had to put it back in the car and all tested perfect first time.
..and the end result - well happy :
Close up:
Sorry about the poor photos but it’s wet outside….I’ll try harder in the morning.
