They are the best all red lenses I have seen too. Edz can you tell me where to go for the that first, and how much if you dont mind??
Then ill get on your case Nismo for the LED stuff. Shall I start ordering that gear off ebay in that link you posted in this thread mate?
Many thanks chaps.

if you order these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-x-30CM-30-Red-LE...=item4cf118527c you will need to order 2 sets so you can do the tops and bottoms , get yourself another set of lights with the bulb holders and wiring still in them so you can put the old ones back in if you don't like them , then give me a shout and we'll meet up and i'll do them for you and make a how to for everyone else but they are easy to do its just the wiring you need to think about .

Mate they do glow a little red tbh on indicating - as the Coupe is not my main car I live with it - reverse is pink fog light is not a prob. There slighty darker than the top ones as well The paint is on the link below that I got http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E-tech-ETECH-Light...=item43a64b6de2

Many thanks chaps. Ebay Link to Spray about 7 quid Get someone who is good at spraying to do this - the paint will eat into the lenses not the best plastic (maybe why people have trouble paint them) - Did help the weather is warm. Get 2 sets of led’s should be about 11 quid - get the 30 led’s - chop 3 off Split the lenses carefully Insert the led strips will sit in the cup end lenses part nicely Glue back together - Nismo also put sealant around the edge for air tight seal Then a bit of fun wiring them up to your side lights - Most people should be able to figure this out. Hope this helps as a how too

Phil , if you have ordered the 30 led's you will need to cut them down to 27 led's but be very careful when your doing this . the led's are grouped in 3's so use a very sharp stanly blade when you do it , 30 led's are to much to try and get in the lense .

They look superb by far the only aftermarket/modded lights I've seen that really suit the coupe down to the ground

Edz,
When you say indicators glow a bit red - Is that due to the reflection from the light bulb to and from the led colour ??

its from the spray he used to colour the lense , we are going to try some orange bulbs to see if this helps to make the indicators abit more orange .

no i just used a big flat headed screw driver and went arount the lip and you can hear the glue crack as you work your way around the lense , use some marsking tape at one end so you know where to place the lense when you super glue them back together , i also used some sealant around the edge for air tight seal once the super glue had dryed .
