smoked side repeaters

[DanLewis1991]

i realllllly want some smoked side repeaters on my silver ibiza but cant find any for the mk4 anywhere!

theres loads on ebay for the previous models but none for the mk4..
do any of you have them?
if so where did u get them and how easy are they to change?

thanks, dan

I have them but the I had to modify the bulb holders the lens fit but the bulb holder on the ibiza were too big.

just buy some tint spray and tint them mate that what i did and they are barely noticable now - still working 100% and light still shines throught but im well happy and saved a bit of cash by just tintin originals

Risk of cops not liking it and same at MOT time though. I keep everything legal as having a modded car attracts the police anyway and they will look for things that they can catch you out on. But up to you what you do obviously.

well aimez i bought some more just normal ones and sprayed them so for mot i can put originals back on - but i no what ya mean - no point spending loads of cash, making ya car look quality for police to fine you or worse is there!

Tint film isn't illegal aslong as you do it correctly.
I bought the ones that aimez had and they never quite fit correctly and once they were in I couldnt get them out.

Tint them with spray!

i bought the ebay ones and binned them the same day, i would try get another standard set from scrappies and tint them with tint spray, then change them at mot time

 

[matfennell]

haha i was going to bin mine - they were awful but just tinted em instead so still got originals for MOT.

Very happy with results now though.

im going for the smoked theme on my car so i think id have to stick with tinted ones..

 

[matfennell]

yer just buy some off ebay and then tint them. Looks good and then at MOT time you can switch back to originals easily.

ebay ones are pants.....crap fit...not worth it...

as aimez says go crystal

 

[matfennell]

my were perfect fit :S took about 2 mins to fit them!

Suppose depends which ones u get but im well happy with mine now ive tinted em

How much would new, standard one's be from a dealer so that I can tint spray them?
