Smoking the lenses
« on: 16 January 2004, 23:52 »
Ok, ive got the rear cluster smoked (standard unit) and ive got the side repeaters on the wings smoked...

the front indicator, the clear blank and the fog lights are all clear... i know the smoked indicator lenses are around ?20 a pair, but where do I get the smoked blank & how much? and also do I need a whole new fog light unit for them to be smoked or can I (like the indicator) just replace the plasic "cap"?

You could try Volks-apart, they supply new and used parts.

www.volkswagenspares.com

Or phone them on 0208 317 2330

I've bought stuff from them in the past, delivery usually couple of days.

I want all my lights smoked... rear cluster, wing indicators, front fogs/indicators/blank plate ... headlights .. I dont want a bit of crystal when the rest is smoked.... it'd look stupid.
