To be honest i bought them like that, but when i had the old style i just masked the reflector off and give them to my painter to spray they looked exactly like these but non led

well they look excellent. i think the only way im gonna get mine looking smokey even is with a film, at least that way they can get taken off.

right now im polishing off the mess i got myself into ! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

I was going to say of I sold the standard ones and get the led ones that are already tinted, less hassle and fit for purpose.

You can buy a film of ebay called fly eye which has tiny holes in it and stretches quite well

Thanks a million I have ordered it and should be here monday !

Today I sanded down the paint back to the clear plastic, polished it and its looking better than before. In fact im gonna take the other one off and polish that free from scratches.

This whole sanding isse got me thinking. You see on youtube people sanding the plastic first then spraying. I dont think you should be doing this. It leaves a very misty effect that isnt ideal. Im gonna try the film now but ill be making sure instead that the surface below is completely spotless.

You could use some tights?

Thicker the tights less light passes through

Bad idea but I suppose better than spraying them java black, what idiot does that hey  Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Other option is to use a heat gun to warm up the silicone around the lens cover. It should pull away from the main unit.

Then spray inside the lens cover and re-seal so you still have the polished plastic outside but the inside is tinted and the paint will not be affected by weathering.

I did this about 7/8 years ago on my first car, will try and dig out some pics. LCFC. Receiver of threatening letters from Overfinch.

youre right about the weathering matey and now youve mentioned it i may well open them up. but i think ill go for the light film this time. i suspect this is how baxc's lights were done...film stuck to the inside.
cheers for that ! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

It was a joke mate

I know your sorted now but simple1 has tinted his headlights with something so you could fire him a pm.

Just had a look at mine and they have masked the reflectors off and sprayed the outside just as i done myself on my old ones. If the film doesnt work this is prob the best way to do them.
