Got my GT4 Clear Signal Lenses! WOOO! Options

[celica9110]

^what do you use to put it back on?
like glue wise?

[wolfie308]

Then it's a case of fitting the clear lenses - I propose to do this by placing the indicator unit under the grill face-up so that the black putty/glue is pliable before slipping the new lense into place.

I really wouldn't recommend using the grill - too much risk of damaging the backing for my liking. The oven isn't that scary, but if you're worried, I'd use a hairdryer for this stage. Do take the time to poke down the mastic into the recess - you can use a small flat blade screwdriver dampened in water to stop it sticking. No further adhesive should be necessary.

For the ultimate effect, removing the unecessary partition before spraying completes the look. Best done with Dremel but can be done with care and a very sharp craft knife/scalpel.

Look forward to seeing the fitted result.

But wuold really like to get them lol. So what im asking is how would i go about getting a set of those?

Seems a bit much, but to me, is all worth it. Because Wolfie (Richard) makes them with care. They look so factory. You can make your own, but they will look like you made your own. When Richard makes them, they look like they were OEM. So it all depends on how well you want it to look.

The only problem for me right now is I do not want to install a relay or anything, but I want something bright and super white with a blueish hue to it for lighting for turn signals. Those polyleds are ok for not turn signals. Even if I make them signal correctly, they do not correctly signal. There is not enough variation in being on to being used for a turn signal to use for the day time driving, and white bulbs do a good job, but not bright enough for that blueish hue.

Words of wisdom...thanks - oven or hair dryer it is then.

Already did that after taking the lense out and while the mastic was still hot and pliable.

I was wondering how that was done...Cheers

+1 on that.
Plus the quality is excellent.

I'd forgot about this thread with the Whiskas and the miffed pussy cat.

Sprayed the units the other night
Mind you having looked at the pic, you're right it does look better.
So will see if I can carefully cut and remove the partition with a scaple.
Still got some paint left so that's cool

UPDATE...
Done the accenting on the lenses:



Removed the partition and sprayed the units:



Next I'll remove the masking tape which was protecting the mastic, stick in the oven to heat up the mastic and then fit lenses.
