Thought I would try out the DIY 99-spec style rear lights.

 

Did the whole putting them in the oven to heat them up for seperating..... hands are now burned and sore, but got there in the end. :cool:

 

That Black tar stuff gets everywhere !

 

Ended up taking about 4 hours total in the end :( , as had loads of problems seperating them, and then getting them back together again. :rolleyes:

 

Pleased with it, massive improvement over the orange lenses. :)

 

Pics below.

Awesome job mate! Looks brilliant!

 

How did you do this? Did you use any guides from here?

 

Really big improvement I agree!

Very nice job mate - and cheaper than the 99-spec light units too :cool:

and I purchased the Clear lense material from Ebay.com (The US site). Cost me about £30-£40 Bargain! :hyper:

:D Good job mate....:cool: Must say they doo look better clear.....

I must get some clear defuser and get this done, as I don't think I've got a chance of finding a set of OEM 99 lenses real cheap! And I mean CHEAP, as I've spent far too much recentley :D

got any pis of it in the dark ??

Nice job mate looks good , i was lucky mine already had genuine 99 spec lihgts already fitted when i bought it :tongue:

By the way a good way of getting the sealer off is to peel a large lump of the sealer off, roll into a ball then using this just push it into the sealer on the light or rear panel and pull it off at a backwards angle , it sticks to it and pulls the remaining sealer off .

Sounds a bit daft but it does work. :)

Excellent job - I've got a spare set of lights from Stevo to do the same thing but it won't be until into the New Year now!!!!!

well done bud looks 99 times better lol :bow:

yes mate, well done - I done the same - well chuffed - makes hell of a difference dont it :)
