At the Gaydon show I saw a 944 turbo with smoked rear lights. As mine's all black and one of the existing ones is cracked i was thinking about adding the smoked ones. However despite some serious Googling I can't find anyone that supplies them. Can anyone help out please? |

hi it easy....but you do need to make sure your len's are clean...no silicone polish on them...tooth brush and white spirits is a good way...you will get the spray of ebay..(of course) around about £6+spray lights coats let dry till you get the disiered effect...but dont go to dark as it will become against the law and you will need brighter bulbs....... |

I think you saw his car. Stephen |
