Paint the funny shapes that are on the outside of the light they must be there for a reason.

you meen the oval bit where the indicator and reverse light are?

wayne, you need to sand the lights for ages to get the lumps off and the shiny coating, i sprayed them the same as the car a while back but they were so dim i sanded it back of and relaquered them.

yeah, looks nice that where i got the idea from
wayne, you have to take the black rubber seal off or you will never be able to open the filler cap with no handle there.
