Yeah, mine's lacking the chrome mouldings... I didint get much chance to tinker with the tail lights yesterday as i was busy drowning my mower, but i promise to put up any results as soon as they come!!

I just returned from the nightclubs in Townsville - i had a scary 40+ lady trying to take me home, but i managed to get outside just after lock-out (what a damn shame)... I'm forever scarred...

Cheers
Keith

Hey Tyre Fryer, I had seen those pin stiped lights and thought if the tint looks crap, I'll give that a go.
They do look good don't they? :spoton:

With the lens off the light, the backing (reflector) where the globes are is orange on a UC. Thats why they look so flouro.

do you have a pic of your tail lights turned around? I can't imagine it would really make a large amount of difference... but I may be wrong.

Ask and it shall be given ye! Simple MS Paint jobby. Hope knoath doesn't mind me stealing his car for a bit....

I reckon that it does actually look better. Simple solution too!

I'm probably best described as "almost famous". If anyone needs advice on mods, engine work or almost anything to do with cars - they find me!! I'm on a more local forum called QLD Street Scene, whereby most of the members are from Townsville (including Kirsty aka Pink LJ with billet wheels). Its not too bad place to be!!

I rekon keep the blinkers to the inside Dick!!

Keith

I reckon a little tint with the black pin-stripes that tyre-fryer showed in THIS pic looks pretty good.

Dunno what everyone else thinks. I personally reckon the UC taillights are fine as they are, but this looks a little more refined.

^ Would be a whole lotta effort for not alot of result.

And, for that to work, they'd need to sit a bit lower, so theres even gaps above and below it.

Jake, thats what the last couple of pages have been about. Noone likes UC Taillights, so we are looking at ways to fix them.
