snakey135 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Again thanks lads... All the positive comments ive recieved are much appreciated so cheers! Yeah thats what I will do, get a second set and take my time with them!In the meantime i got bored today and freshened up my existing lenses witch were horribly yellow and faded...3000 wet n dry (+water)Old bottle of T-CutFew ragsWith the wet n dry i soaked it in water and rubbed in circular motions over the effected area. 10 mins each lamp keeping wet n dry plenty wet!Rinsed off.T-Cut whole lamp very well with rag, when you think thats enough, do some more.. Then when your arms falling off do it a bit more still!New rag and buff off for a lovely finish!Others wax and polish after too but I was happy enough as I'm changing lamps anyway!Before:After:Think the clearer headlights with the new grill comes togeather quite nicely:Also earlier today i finished off my interior footwell lights which im pretty impressed with TBH!!:(Needs a good hoover in there I'm well aware lool!!)

Mr Brown Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Love the floor lighing mate that was on my list to do and now i have seen it in the flesh i shall def be doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks! Just need some decent civic mats to finish footwells off a treat!Like i said tho, lighting werent easy... First i got some prism led lights from ebay but they didnt give off that much light... Dissappointed!... Then i got some blue tube neon bars from ebay, in the ebay image it showed them under the seat and whole footwell was really well lit (like mine are now)... But again they didnt give off as much light as i expected...Dissapointed!... so i decided to make my own!The tube neons took ages to install, with an inline switch, so i wired up 4 bright blue T10 led bulbs to the same circuit so they all come on togeather but it was long winded!... I have a habit of overthinking and doing more than is necessary but never mind lool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
