Lol i have some... they are shit, but look the part.. dont fit well and dont even work lol but they look better than oem so i'll leave them on... Be very careful with what you get.. But they are all rubbish really from my experience and what others have said

MaccyD · 04-22-2014, 04:33 PM

I seee, lol. Just the ones i have a clear (that might be a standard thing!) and they just stick out like a big white blob on an otherwise dark car. Im not that bothered about if they even work lol, just want them to look nice and not leak water through the hole lol

I think I'm gonna buy some VHT Niteshades and try tinting mine a bit, should look much better on my car

Hi TC, think the terminology got lost in translation. Im talking about the indicators mounted on the wing

tc535i · 04-22-2014, 04:53 PM

not sure what you mean by wing, I thought you were referring to the side markers (mounted just forward of the doors, on the fenders)

MaccyD · 04-22-2014, 04:56 PM

I was, just that picture mainly shows the rear lights lol

tc535i · 04-22-2014, 04:59 PM

yeah, bad angle I suppose, but you definitely see the dot up there... rather that gone, breaks up an otherwise smooth side panel in my opinion

bjc1973 · 04-23-2014, 03:33 PM

just use tint spray on the original side repeaters.thats all i did as its such a small area the finish will look fine.heres mine,also did the front fogs

did you add the clear coat or just tint?

Greg330 · 04-23-2014, 04:16 PM

DIY it, I bought some and they couldn't be a worse fitment!!

DuckySpud · 04-23-2014, 04:54 PM

I just used tint spray on mine too. Bad photo, it was just my car with winters on

It was just tint spray, no top coat or anything. Been on about 18 months now and still looks spot on

MaccyD · 04-23-2014, 05:23 PM

Ok, can i swap to 'Can anyone recommend me a tint spray?' lol

I got them from eBay, some cheap Hong Kong seller. Only paid about £70 for them painted and delivered, absolute steal and the fit was about 98%, pretty much perfect! Tried to find a link from my old posts but looks like the listing has been removed sorry

No worries about the link. Thanks for the info

Did you use 3m tape or bolts/screws to secure them?
