They do look much better sprayed red. Will the matte finish stay or will they get glossy as it dries?

Worst case you could wrap a transparent red vinyl to achieve a highly shined finish.

 

Did you warm the lights with a hairdryer or heat gun before spraying? This would of given you better spray can finish.

Agree with everyone definitely looks better in red. May see if I can get my cousin to bring me over a smoked red set from the US.

I've used light tint spray before.... Imo i would add a few coats of clear lacquer on top, as they have a habit of fading over time.

Ditto.

 

Finally got round to spray and fitting them. They look darker in the photo. They are about the same colour as the original lights.

 

Wow those look perfect! I like how the insides are not all chrome and reflective. Are they still a matte finish? I may just buy a set of the clear ones and tint or spray them red too.

They do look good in a normal red - I suspected they would. Hopefully a well priced red set will come on to the market soon.

Cheers mate. No I wetsanded them down before clearcoat. Gloss finish. Very pleased with them.

 

I do like those.... They look pretty oem.

Extend the rear high level brake light across the length of the rear and it will look like a mk3 from behind!!

Hey guys,

Just come across this thead, what's the verdict so far as it's been many months now. Has anyone found a decent seller to get hold of a set that is Red which doesn't look too cheap? May have to do a bit of DIY like a few others by making the silver bits red.

 

Any News or more pics of these?

Ditto again with the look of four squared rings spread across the back end.

Same here on the oem lights, with indicator swipe would be perfect.

As I have only just got mine, do led bulbs that are not factory send the canbus into a world of pain?

Also, anyone got a clue how this is done....

Doing my headlights soon to have sequential indicators and I'm gonna do the back lights as well so I'll keep a photo diary of all the steps when I start it.
