NO BLACK!! :p lol, I like them how they are with the exception of the black plastic, which I just took a pic of for reference.

Every inch of black plastic on my EGI lights looks like this, there is no \'good bit\' on them at all :rollin

[papercutout]

What the hell happened to those?!

Tint the orange bits red, just make sure you have orange bulbs in there.

Surely you can sand down and re-spray the light surrounds?just don\'t forget to mask up the coloured parts :Giggle

LOL that\'s exactly what I thought, both lights are like that across every inch of black plastic on them, there is no normal smooth bits on those lights whatsoever, lol! So I have no idea what in the hell happened to them to cause such an extensive amount of damage!

Hehe that was prof\'s suggestion too, might be going with that but ideally i\'d like a spare set of EGI lights to refurb off the car to do a straight swap, so that theres no gaping holes on the back of the car for the dreaded wetness to creep in!

Take it the new ones stayed inflated overnight?

[B.Martin]

Can\'t you fit the TII lights for a while and refurb the egi ones?

Yup!

......that\'s genius, why the hell didn\'t I think of that >_>

[B.Martin]

Well that\'s one problem solved!! :p

[Lacey]

Well as of today I have a fully functioning completely working new set of locks, including swapping over the steering column with the attached other lock which turned out to be far more of an arse than I thought it would. I was prepared for it to be so annoying, I would have just preferred it if it had been nice and easy! But, the car claimed more chunks of my hands in the process but it\'s all done and finished now, all that\'s left to do after the change over is reassemble the steering wheel cowling which I;m holding off on, because the little bulb that illuminates the ignition key socket is blown, so may as well replace that before I reassemble everything once more, saves taking it apart again to do yet another job!

But yes, 3 full new locks (both doors and ignition) now fully functional, and my car can no longer be unlocked using a screwdriver! It\'s actually locked now - properly!

Chuffed!

Glove box and boot are still on the original key though, which suits me nicely

All coming along nicely then :Thumbs-up

[Lacey]

Good work! It\'s so good to see a woman who actually doesn\'t mind getting down and dirty with a car. (that isn\'t meant in a dirty way)

[B.Martin]

Yeah I\'m with papercutout it\'s great to see progress on a ladies blog.
