ok, what do I do to smoke my current lights?
can't get hold of corsa 5dr smoked lights, or i cant find anywhere that sells 'em.
get some black tint spray and take it easy
Failed mot on indicator bulbs not being orange enough DOH
Yes you can buy light tint from all the car maxing shops, make sure you remove the lights before you spray them!
Nice light coats to avoid runs, dont rush or you will **** it up, make sure the coats have time to dry before another one.
Dont go to dark as it looks crap, you still wonna see the colours behind in my opinion.
If you cant find proper tint spray then you can use normal body spray paint but like whats been said take it easy and do a light coat and check it before doing another cos you will end up going toooo dark like i did once lmao
ok thanks, i spray the inside right?
oh and does it legally have to be declared on insurance?
Take the lights out and spray the outsides.
I'd ring your insurers and just tell them about it
I wouldnt, considering the fact its illegal. It obscures the rear reflectors and your light clusters effectivly lose their E mark.Originally Posted by Chavtastic
I do think it looks good though
I thought spraying inside would be better? wont come off through washes, and also can cover the relfecteor plate so i dont spray it.
Spraying the inside would be harder, and you'd still be able to see the colour of the normal plastic... Would look bad, trust me.
Dont worry about it coming off, its designed not to, as long as you apply it properly.
You wont be able to spray the inside anyway, at least not without breaking the light unit open!
Clean the lense and apply the spray as the instructions say, its f-ing easy man.
Or just remove the lights and wrap a pair of tights around them, pulling them taut across the front. Sounds bad but looks sweet
ok lights have been smoked, though im not sure if their dark enough will post pics tomoz of it, also debadged, taken off bumper strips and primed all my scratches for painting
Tights look gash. You can tell their tights a mile off.
Do the job properly, and don't use tights.
It looks especially funny when the tights are laddered.
Wasn't gonna use tights for several reasons:
1. Their tights
2. Their supposed to go on legs...not cars...
3. They can rip.
4. They would feel like tights if you touched them
5. see 1.
6. if your gonna do somin to ur car do it right, dont take the cheap shortcuts
7..... out of reasons

Stockings? lmao
depends, who wore them last?
Use a nice pair of fishnets
In my experience with tinting spray the lights look really matt and rough so i used lacquer on top to make them have a glossy effect. Like everyone else has said take it easy with the spray.
