Marmite lights

[Sweety]

As we all know Alex's bumpers are like marmite people either like them or don't:lol well to make Alex feel better i've now got marmite rear lights:lol I was wanting to tint them & was going to get some black fly eye tint film which is road legal:thumbs so had a look on ebay & came across some silver fly eye film which I thought might be different Have used the black stuff before & it was easy to use & shape unlike the silver stuff which doesn't stretch that well:doh left the rear brake lights till tomorrow as they are going to take some time to do if I can get the film to follow the lights strange shapes:doh

When I bought my latest terrano it had the spray on darkening tint. Looked quite smart in the day light but at night they were pants:doh ended up buying a pair and replacing with standard lights as the spray wouldnt come off.

Looks good mate :thumb2

The main thing is if you enjoy them

I binned a set of those light about a month ago

 

[Sweety]

Check the light output & it's only very slightly down but nothing to right home about the good thing about this stuff is it's dead easy to remove & leaves no glue behind. The film is vinyl & has hundreds of holes in it so the light can shine through & you can even use it on headlights (friends have) but I haven't as we all know T2 headlights are rubbish anyway

 

[AlexD333]

My headlights are ace actually! I bought the silly 40 quid bulbs from Halfrauds when one blew :doh

Actually best purchase yet :sly

As I said marmite:lol TBH still unsure on the lights in the bumper think it might have been better to do those ones black but can remove it all in 2 mins if I change my mind:augie

Not sure about the lights but you have done with the bumper what I want to do with the sockets.was also gonna stick a better reverse lamp in there aswell :thumb2

 

[AlexD333]

Lol proper marmite, still personal preference n all, if you ask, expect to get some dislike comments :lol

My heart bled for my bumpers for a while :lol

The rear No plate bracket was badly cracked & had a hole in it:doh bit of plastic welding & fibreglass soon sorted it out then vinyl wrapped it:lol will prob add a small light or 2 on there to be reverse lights.

Yes Alex marmite:lol with your bumpers for me they need some fillets adding like I said at the time but if you remember I did say I loved the front winch hoop on the bumper:thumbs

Hate to be the police but are they road legal?

Reason I ask is because I'm sure they have reflectors in them?

 

[elty001]

Reflectors are in the brake light unit:thumb2

I'm gonna have to make a new plate for my sockets as plastic number plate holder is in 2 pieces and was held on with cable ties.

Yes the fly eye film is fully road legal as the reflectors still shine when lights hit them but as Alex has said the main reflectors are up just under the brake lights:thumbs
Got up this morning & found a lot of it had peeled off over night:doh so have ripped it all off:augie used fly eye tint before & the lights i've covered in the past for people are still good after a year but it was better film than this stuff:augie

 

[jims-terrano]

Have you tried polishing the lights with wax or something recently?

No never do that, it's just cr*p film maybe I should have went for the black after all as I know that sticks:augie
