Marker Lights

Ady65 · Nov 13th, 2012, 16:55

Just fixed the marker lights, i wondered why mine didnt work, (only had the car less then a week) Anyway i took all the markers out, every bulb had blown plus the fuse. So after a visit the Wilco's and 5 quid later. Happy days all now working fine, must say it looks kinda good when they are on, think i might get some LEDS and smoked or clear lenses.

I would suggest fitting LEDs, but ive just smoked my OEM orange markers rather than spending £40 on some clear plastic

was that with the fly eyes stuff?

I used some E-tech stuff, was the cheapest on ebay, only used a tiny bit of it, I did it in layers, so sprayed it once with the light smoke, checked the lights worked ok, then went a bit darker, rechecked etc, the side markers are still pretty bright and would be bright still if they weren't running on the OEM bulbs.

Hmmm good idea, think i'll do that.. Cheers

I think if I coloured bump strips like some I would have got some clear markers, but I just wanted them to blend them in slightly more after I got the car tinted and have gunmetal gray OEM wheels, my car is 95% stock.

That's my next project is to get her tinted, just got a couple of niggles to sort out, like the boot wont open unless i use the key! And some decent rims as the ones i have are in need of a refurb or if a decent set comes up i'll consider getting them

With regards to tinting, please note that the fronts are already at the maximum legal, so only tint B pillar back like mine
