lilme 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 hey i did mine with the nite shades from repco, they fade real quick tho, i neva knew you could get glossy tint, whats the proper name for it, and is it just from repco aswell? i think if id have got the glossy one i wouldnt have had the same fading troublz im having now. as for the warent thing i just flew through a warrent with my smoked indicators and mine are pretty dark!! (i used the whole can!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 proper names as I wrote above, just spray it on lightly with taking times between coats, if you cant do it then you're a f*cking cabbage. Its easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted September 17, 2006 It's illegal to apply any sort of "transparent cover, overlay or paint" that reduces the lights performance, but you are allowed to buy lights that are blacked/smoked already by using darker plastic. So... as long as you do a professional looking job so it is harder to tell they've been sprayed, AND they still flash orange, AND they are visible from 100m in clear daylight conditions and 200m in clear night conditions, then you are sweet.
