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: ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() After that, I sprayed the inside of the lenses black for that meaner look. ![]() ![]() A test fit with the orange lenses (the clear ones haven't arrived yet ![]() ![]() They look even better with the clear ones!! ![]() 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 ![]() |

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 ![]() Hopefully I am going to get them fitted in time for Japfest ![]() 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... ![]() ![]() |

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 ![]() |
