Just buy some red tint spray and mask around the clear bit and spray them, so there all red.

To fit 106 lights to a saxo you would need a new boot and some work done to shaping the rear 1/4 panels i think mate. Not worth it when you can make the saxo lights red anyway..

Maybe you can tint your lexus lights all red? Ive seen them before with the bottom half red and looked surprising good!

mask of the area you want left blank, and spray them with the can as though you're painting them. Layer the tint depending on how dark you want them. WHen you're finished, leave them to dry and put a few layers of clear lacquer on top to give it a shine :)

no need for primer?

-Take the rear lights off
-Clean them with a de-greaser
-spray light coats of red E-tech tint spray (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RED-E-TECH-LENS-TINT-SPRAY-FOR-TINTING-CAR-LIGHTS-NEW_W0QQitemZ300339080082QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Car sParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45ed9aab92&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) on the whole unit but make sure you put slightly more on the indicator area and you don't need as much on the red bits
-Once you're happy with the finished result let them dry
-Lacquer the whole unit but be very careful not to spray too much and cause runs

No need for primer mate, as the paint is semi-transluscent. It's especially for lights, so will stick fine without priming.

Tinting lexus lights look cheep and chavy in my opinion
