   i have primers lacquers and matt black paint but just wondered if these should be used in a way so that the repeater doesnt go to dark that the light doesnt shine through

   yeah i have the ultra ones on the car at the moment
   
   just prised the side repeter lens off on the corner, sanded down quick primer and matt black, if your going to do them properly take more time on it

    couldn't agree more, blend in well with the side strips, kinda looks like you don't have any side repeaters
