Hey

Just a couple of lights questions.
First off, washers whats the process of removal? Do the 2012 MOT changes make this mod impossible.
Second, a lot of US Spec Sk's have orange indicator lenses, how would I go about this on a uk model?

Cheers

Jamie

Oh PS, does anyone know of any veilside rep places?

Have a search for "smoothing" for the removal process, and there are lots of threads on the MOT question, again, have a search for "MOT".

Tamiya do a translucent orange (and red) for the miniature version of lights, should work well if painted on the inside.

I like the look of them, even getting orange side repeaters =] and sadly no orange calipers, although maybe a future mod =]
ah I avoid taking lights apart like the plague, tried with my golf and chipped a lens, never again!!
Will look into the smoothing and MOT threads, just want to do something to the car that won't break the bank.
