Title: Where can I get smoked black side lights?
Post by: RedRummy on July 05, 2007, 10:15:05 PM
As per title...

saw some nice side repeaters and rear reflectors, in smoked black, on Lum90\'s FD... in this thread  (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40221)

I\'m sure I read Ford Probe side repeaters are the same so there will fit:

Then I guess you can spray the reflectors... I\'m planning on doing that as they\'re not really needed... Anyone know how to get the front reflectors off?

i\'ve looked for proper smoked back lights but no luck - eventually bought the clear ones and masked up the reflector before spraying with boy-racer smoking spray. Worked a treat and one hell of a lot cheaper tho to be honest, the rear lights in the thread are just standard lights treated the same way - not entirely legal if you smoke the reflector
this is what mine look like

Thanks for the offer!  :cheers

Might have a bash myself with some spray paint, if that\'s the way peeps do it.  I\'ll give you a nudge if I screw it up though  :D

dont just paint them bud, add black paint to laquar and graduly increase the colour, painting will just make them useless..

smoke spray is designed for lights etc so that you can spray them darker and darker etc painting lights makes them opaque and useless.

paintings no good for lights yes but aren\'t we talking about reflectors. I used some halfods gloss black spray for my front and rear side markers, as you dont even need them. fronts have to be unscrewed from the inside. turn the wheel on full lock (right hand down do left side) remove plastic screw reach in and un-do reflector (1 screw only). reverse and repete
