   Pretty sure the indicator's have a slight orange tinge to them but it's not noticeable tbh. Should be some pics in my progress thread somewhere if you want to have a browse

    The Ultra ones come in a special box with a website and company info etc etc on them so you can tell that they aren't DIY ones.

    DIY FTW Real Simple to do, Hair Dryer/Oven.. take apart.. spray.. warm glue and put back together..
    
    You can do them for free,, just gt sum half used rattle cans frm a mate or something
    
    Fuck paying 80 sheets for something u can do YOURSELF for near nothing

    Yeah that's what I was gonna do, I ordered one new headlight coz mine was damaged in the accident, thought I'd smoke the other while I was waiting (just did my fogs) ...put it too far to the back of my gas oven & melted the brackets it was only in there bout 4 mins on number 3. So I needed to order a pair of lights & for the extra tenner got them already black lol.

    this reminds me of my fiesta lights, i took them apart took the orange part out so i "de-tango'd" them so they were clear (very easy and popular mod) when my engine blew up i sold everything and i got £50 for my standard lights cus someone couldnt be arsed to do it them self
