Loving the Joey'd lights man, they have worked a treat! How did you do the chambers yellow? Did you use tinting film or spray, and did you tint the lens or the chamber its self? I have this very same mod lined up to do on mine, bar the black :)

Cheers mate, just the chamber itself, glass is untouched. I used some yellow glass paint (cost me two quid on ebay) and dabbed it on with a sponge. Looked pretty poor when it was first applied but when cured overnight it was spot on. Don't need much of it either. As del boy once said, ''a little dab il do ya''. It gives a nice translucent hammered effect but if you use to much turns out blotchy. Ultimate budget mod, surprised its not done more often.

Nice! I was gonna give it a go with the yellow tint film I did my fogs with, and do the inside circle on the lens......I might have to do it this way now though! Any more close ups?

Not got any close ups on the car yet but this was a tester I done on a spare lense. Gives you an idea of the finish. Also a pic of the stuff I used off ebay. I doubt the expensive tint film will look anywhere near as good as this does to be honest. Gives off a nice yellow beam at night too. My only concern was the effect off the heat of the bulb but its been fine.

Well the original seller I got it from doesn't appear to list it just now but found another seller selling various shades. Its the 'sunny yellow' one I used.
