Would this be legal???? Front indicator's
« on: 17 January 2007, 17:35 »
I currently have a set of crystal front indicator's and fog light's and the silver is now dull (as they leak when wet) and I am wondering what the legal requirement's are for the indicator's as i might spray the silver bit's black..... I have split the light's and it look's simple enough to paint!!! any idea's any one!!!!

It's definately different, I think i like it :)
Think this one will be a marmite mod.
Top marks for trying though, let us know when it comes to MOT time?

I've always wondered with smoking lights like that do you have to paint the outside of the lights? I take it those have been sprayed on the inside because there's a little frame around them of unpainted plastic - not that they look bad, I'm just wondering how people get around it.
