Anybody know who's got some NOS Lucas Australia ones? I'm not interested in the Taiwanese copies (if still about), they go dull too quick. Alternatively, where can I get translucent orange paint to recolour the amber in mine- maybe a model shop? |

Yes , Tamiya do a range of clear colours in acrylic paint that works well , just paint it on the outside for an even colour , if it's on the inside it pools in the reflector bits and looks odd . |

Be careful with cush. You should have specified "send me some pics of the tailight lense"

Doc, It goes on the inside. I used it some years ago on a Renault 12's indicators and it worked a treat. Test it on something first, but this is what I did... - Remove the lens - Clean and dry well - Apply lens dye...don't go too mad with it or it will be very dark - Allow to dry - Re-fit... Voila....

Do it in thin coats too or it can drain into the channels on the inside of the reflector and give you dark circles . |
