Are you saying your not working today, Ray?
And if your doing this AT work you need to get me a job with you!
Just to let you know (clearing the tails)...
It's a PAIN IN THE *SS. I finally got the passenger side done and am about to do the driver's side. Just a word of advice to you people doing this.....have PATIENCE!
Ugh...back to work.

Yeah, I agree Joon, just finished my passenger side! (Your drivers side!)
I decided to go for the 'hot knife through butter' approach. rather than the making holes approach!
Liked it better, though more chance of melting the bulb holder!
What are you doing for bulbs?
I am about to write a thread on how I sprayed my bulbs silver, yet kept them flashing orange!
That way there is no hint of orange when they are off!

Guiddy- write that up soon, I would like to know because I cleared my rear lights out like a year and a half ago but still have some orange back there from the bulbs.
The police didn't seem to like the fact that I always had Koito Superwhites back there

I took today and tomorrow off. Tails get done today and MAYBE the VAFC tomorrow.
You know that base that keeps the bulb in place? I killed that sh*t......and it STILL works!

you know me better than that. i am the laziest fuuck in the world. i woudl ratehr pay someone to do it.
I was sceptical this wouldn't work, but I was amazed at just how well it turned out!!!
No more getting pulled for running 'clears in your rears'! Now you have no excuse!

Guess which is the coated bulb?
![]()
What you need:
1 Bottle of Tamiya X-26 Clear orange model paint
1 Spray can of bright silver automotive paint
2 Standard light bulbs
2 good crocodile clips
Once you have cleared out the orange lense! (A pain in the ass, but that is another story!) Take your standard bulbs and clean them.
Take the Tamiya orange, and DO NOT SHAKE IT otherwise air bubbles stick to the bulbs! Not what you want!
Grab the bulb at the tip with a crocodile clip and dip it into the paint all the length of the bulge!
Let a few drips fall back into the pot and then lightly sponge off the heavy paint on some tissue, before letting air dry.
Move it around a bit to allow the paint to spread evely over the bulb!
It takes about half an hour to dry.
Give it another coat if you want, depends on you! I did!
Leave to dry for about an hour.
![]()
Once dry, take your bulb and holding it in the croc clip, take your silver spray and SHAKE WELL!
You want a can that gives a nice fine mist!
Hold the can a good 12 inches away and DUST a fine mist over the whole bulge of the bulb, covering the orange, but not the contact points!
DO NOT SPRAY THE WHOLE BULB SO YOU NO LONGER SEE ORANGE, OBVIOUSLY!
Make sure you cover the back of the bulge too though!
You are looking for about 60% coverage in silver! See my pic above for about the right balance.
Let this dry well, then place the bulb back and admire!
The bulb will get hot, and you cannot take it out when it is warm or the paint smears!
But so far I haven't had a problem with it melting or anything!
Did you guess which bulb was coated?
As you can see it was the right one!
Hard to tell wasn't it!
Now you have TRUE clear lenses, at a fraction of the cost!
