Just make sure you buy the bulbs that look silver and light up orange and not bulbs that are orange coloured glass as it looks equally as sh*t as before the triangles are removed.

scooby parts etc sell them for about £10 pair

Or you could look here.

https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...eadlights.html

An additional option is to spray the inside chromed part you take out satin black. Gives a more aggressive look as I think once de-tango'ed there is too much shineyness.

Avoid Silvatech indicator bulbs as they're not bright enough. Go for Philips Silver Vision, far brighter and cost the same.

Link here:

Philips Silver Vision WY21W from Power Bulbs

Good luck.

Cue the help I've melted my headlights thread

Do you honestly think that someone who struggles to string a basic sentence together will be able to deal with something that complicated.....

coffin you've gone round all his posts ripping him, everyone else has been helpful so it surprises me theres always one. Maybe he's dyslexic, you never know? plus I see the posts he's made since the WR1 thread, have been a bit better. Just be helpful to people rather than ripping the **** out of them because your just making us on here all look bad to new users

detango

awesome, done this mod at the weekend and it sooooo improves the look of the front of the car. the oven part is easy, mine took 10 mins at 100deg and then came apart nice and easy. just make sure its all clean before you put back together, not something you want to have to do again
