Theyre easy enough to make?

Heatgun,satin black spray is all you need.

Or if you havent got a heatgun stick them, in the oven.

Why spend £60 when you can have them for a few quid..never understood why people on here buy them

The valeo is just as easy,ive done them for my mates cars.

Ill go to the scrappy monday and get sum standard vale lights and ill "depo" them.

They just need a bit longer in the oven,not so long that the plastic melts though

If theres a big demand for them i may start selling them :Cool:

i have done it to some standard GM lights not every easy to do because the glue used on the standard gm ligths can't be heated up, so if you put to much heat, you will start to melt the back plastic. The way i did mine was I got 4 standard GM light and broke the glass off the two and use the back, then broke the back off the other two and used the glass, should off had some pics but was long time ago when i did them. got some pics of how they looked like when i was done.
