Default Blobeye Headlight Re-Tango

Does anyone have the orange plastic indicator lens things out of blobeye headlights kicking about that they wouldn’t mind parting with?

Pretty sure I binned mine when I removed them

Cheers

This is definitely a new one. But won't adding them back in make it less stealthy.

Are you going back to stock.

I would just stick with an orange bulb , it’s a subtle mod but more in line with newer cars , i would not go back to the orange cover 👍 obviously your choice as your car 👍

I have silver indicator bulbs, however I plan on fitting a daylight running light & moving the indicator to the sidelight / 501 bulb & losing the stock indicator.

I want those amber lenses to paint black & effectively blank off the stock indicator reflector for a cleaner look.

Mine are pretty trashed so planning an overhaul, I wet sanded & polished the lenses so they were immaculate, but didn’t realise I removed the UV protection so shortly afterwards loads of stress fractures appeared (If only I’d known & lacquered them).

I plan on tinting them with a medium smoke film after a bit of a freshen up to hopefully hide this.


However if you want to send me your headlights, I’ll split them, pop the amber lenses out, paint the inner plastic for you (if required) & rebuild them.

I’ll even cover return postage too

That's a really kind offer, thank you.
The car is my daily unfortunately so I can't really be without headlights!

I have the same issue, on the daily front. Probably for the best TBH as it keeps it in one piece
