Post subject:  ST205 clear indicator mod

I got my second pair of lenses from Richard today, and after a bit of prepping, this is what I came up with!

The original orange lenses, complete.

After the lenses have been baked off (approx. 90 degrees C), this is what the insides look like:
Image
Image
Image

I cut the middle divider with a sharp Stanley knife. The cut doesn't need to be particularly clean, as you won't actually see it behind the frosted lenses.
Image
Image

After that, I sprayed the inside of the lenses black for that meaner look.
Image
Image

A test fit with the orange lenses (the clear ones haven't arrived yet :P). They look good:
Image

They look even better with the clear ones!!
Image

Finally - this is what they look like on the car.

And the indicators are still very bright. Dimmer than with a silver backing, but more than acceptable.

I'm actually really pleased with the black backing. Makes it look so much nicer than the silver :D

Yes - whilst I was reading the post, when I got to the spraying it black bit I thought - uh oh.

But looking at the finished pics it looks good. :)

I was worried it would be too dark, but I tested it before I sealed (reheated the headlight assembly) the lens on.

It is good to see what they are going to look like when fitted. I too have a storm blue 205, so it is nice to see on the car :)

I have a set but haven't got round to fitting them yet (too much work no time off :( ) definitely a saturday afternoon project!

Hopefully I am going to get them fitted in time for Japfest :D

PS i LOVE the projector lights, another purchase to add to the wish list. Oh if only I was rich!!!

Projectors are definitely worth the money. That, coupled with HIDs... :D:D:D

Tangla, what HID's have you fitted to your projectors? e.g. make, rating etc.

They are Xelux 50W, 6000K.
Previously they were Xelux 35W, 8000K.

Let me know if you're interested... I can supply Xelux, BJ Union and mtec HIDs :)
