Rear Bulbs and tinted lights, PLEASE HELP

[Scottish_Gaz]

basically i bough a set of green tinted rear lights which have been sprayed on front leaving coloured glass on other side!! basically at night, the lights are not shinning through very well and im getting flashed from people because of this so ive had to put original lights on, i thought they were green plastic so i bought red and amber led's thinking they would be brighter to find out that no shinning through as much as normal bulbs

Basically want to know what can i do! can i get normal bulbs but bigger wattage? or what, PLEASE help guys, really need help lol......

ps. im sure i seen a pic of a green saxo with green lights, if so can the owner please tell me what kind of buls he has in them

They're illegal anyway, As there's no reflector visible, It's just green, So stick with standard tbh..

nah ill do same as i done to my polo, when came to mot, i stuck a reflector on, only thing i wasnt info on is bulbs, but cheers anyways

Fair play mate, Best bet's to go to your local car store, and just take the bulbs in, ask if they have more powerful versions :)

when they have been sprayed there probablies havent thinned the paint down enough with thinners or laquer causing them to be too dark

[Scottish_Gaz]

maybe, but i got to sort it now... can i get higher wattage? if so, will i be alot brighter??

as pred said could you not use paint thinner to lighten the coat, thus making it more visable?

iv got mine done yesterday (fucked up 1 light tho lol)
but managed to sort the plastic... (lol) and smoked the lights perfectly :)
just tape over the reflector and sprey on lightly untill preferd darkness (mines quite dark ill show pics soon :D
