I figured while I was baking my lights to put in the Umnitza DDE's, I'd tint my reflectors - Cause I HATE the frickin' Yellow on my Black car. I already cleared out my BSP xB's

They look AWESOME.





<YES> I know they are not DOT legal.

My Lights do shine through yellow when turned on at night, and they are bright enough to see, so I'm not too worried about them being a hazard and I don't believe any cops would even notice, since they are within the assembly and look almost stock.

All you need is some 600-1000 grit sandpaper, VHT nightshades, and clearcoat... and patience to bake your lights (Which is surprisingly easy, although time consuming).

Now the DDE's and this together set the car WAY apart from others

This is now added to my never ending list of various mods...

I definately suggest this for the show crowd, It's not hard to do at all.

I painted mine silver to match the rest of the headlights. i also don't plan on putting the light back there since it won't shine thru. so is an amber side reflector required by law? i think i seen a few cars that doesn't have side reflectors but i can't remembe for sure. i thought the law is that if there is a reflector, it must be amber...not that there must be one to begin with...

 

I look forward to your pics

 

Updated with PICS

And, YES, unfortunatly any US Made Car must have an amber front side reflector and rear red reflector. You will not see any US Spec car made without one. US DOT Regulations.

Even the beautiful Lotus Elise has to have one... (See the wheel well amber reflector and the rear red one as well)

 

nice job. can you get night pics??

sorry but that car looks like an old Mazda Miata with some bad bo-tox injections... and its wayover priced for what you get...I don't like it!!!!... lol!

 

Uhm, the thing most people like about the Lotus is how it handles... not straight up power. You should try actually driving it through a windy course instead of looking at HP and acceleration times to compare cars.

 

Looks nice..flows with the car. but yea too bad its illegal i already have enough mods worth getting pulled over i dont want to add too many more

 

uhm... let me quote the guy ... "Even the beautiful Lotus Elise has to have one... " ...now I'f I'm not mistaken on the meaning of the word Beautiful, I think he was commenting on how the car Looks... now I was saying that I think the car looks are not anything to go crazy over.... and I have driven them up windy roads..and like I said FOR THE PRICE OF A LOTUS YOU CAN FIND SOMTHING BETTER.

.. this is my opinion...take it or go find someone else to bother..

 

can't tell me tbat doesnt turn heads though

 

Talk about off topic, pedro!

I think it's a pretty car.... WAY too overpriced though.

I'll get night pics for you sometime soon, it still shows up amber, but has a lil' reddish tint to it due to the nightshades...

The DDE's will be on, since I have them hooked into my parking lights for now!

Just wait for those pics... They're nifty.

 

nice pics man. Any of the angel eyes?

 

They're coming, I had a little "Water" issue I need to work out... the pics should be up in a couple of days.

Sorry...

 

thats clean i love it great job

 

wow, that looks real nice!

 

nice .

Bat™

 

Can you get a pic from back a little farther to see how they blend with the car? Looks nice, but I'd like to see a full view.

 

I used a flash on this shot, so it turned up more yellow than it looks in natural light... I didn't like the shot, so I didn't post it originally

 

I'm definitely gonna rock this mod. My Nightshades can is at home waiting for me. Any more detail on how you did it would be great too by the way.
