Step 1 - Type www.Ebay.co.uk into your browser
Step 2 - Type in Smoked Jewels in the search bar
Step 3 - Hand over £50 pound
Step 4 - Wait for delivery
Step 5 - Masturbate over your sexy rear lights ;)

as above ^^^^^^ or....

go on ebay look for E-Tech smoking spray and wait for delivery costs about 5 pound. open boot undo the lights only one screw (or was on mine).
clean the lights.
go outside.
read instructions on tin (if you so wish...).
short even sprays of the tint on the lense's. (i only did 2 thin coats on mine).
leave to dry.
it takes about 20 mins half an hour for the tint to take effect. :)
enjoy your new lights :D.

these are mine.....

Take it the spary goes on on easy? Do u have to put protection on the lights afterwards mate:::p

[rick_VTR]

would it not be better to do a couple of coats of clear lacquer over the top for protection?

protection from what? Zee germans?

it's easy, but it's an MOT fail. Some lad started a thread recently, had some regrets tried to remove the tint with nail polish remover, failed miserably.

So buy the set i have for sale 30 quid and fully smoked. That way you can keep the others and swap before the mot

no need for laquer it has it in the spray i think my mate did his coupe lights then laquered but they went dead dull but mine have stayed proper shiny with out and having 2 thin layers means it will still be legal for mot matey

I thought this was hilarious btw, but the spray would make the lights hard to sell with the car, get the new ones and keep old as spares

[mcjacko1987]

if you want a matt look dont use lacquer. but if you want a gloss shiny look use a few coats of lacquer. iv always had the matt look but they never get chipped or crack or anything. just depends what finish you want. but just take your time when spraying as at first couple of light coats looks like nothings changing. but keep at the light coast as if you do a thick one it will just run

[Derbyshire80]

yeah there is that i suppose. i knew there was a reason why i kept my standards somewhere in my room haha

1) take light clusters off
2) put tights over your standard rear lights
3) put back on the car

job done, and it'll only cost you £1.99. (if you shop at asda)

search on ebay for lights paint..

tights get messy with water.
