From the sky at night? No idea.

Or are you talking about rev3 rear lights. You can do it. I have. It involves an oven. Trust me when I say just look out for some import clusters. Much much easier.

[largie009]

Haha I mean the lights. Yeh I can't afford that lol.

You can do it. Using an oven to soften the adhesive holding the lense in place, but I accept absolutely no responsibility for you melting your lights!

Pm wolfie308 on here. He makes the clear indicator lenses for the light clusters so he'll be able to assist you.

The Rev3+ rear lights on a UK car have a different reflector inside the inner set compared to the Rev 3 JDM model. This is used to in theory "shape the light output of the inner pair. If you look closely at the two versions you can see the UK model reflector doesn't fill the entire lamp housing because of the cut off, hence "half moon". It more obvious when the lamps are lit of course.

If I remember correctly, the lamp holder on the inner pair is also different on the UK model because I think that model only uses a single filament lamp. Hence you will see talk of the quad light conversion as well.

Some folks, myself included, prefer the look of the JDM model, especially when they are lit.

its an easy half hour job

get yourself some wooden pegs split them in half and bin the spring

heat your oven to 110 degrees leave it 20 mins with your lights sat on an oven glove then gently wedge the pegs in 1 end and switching between heating and pushing the peg down the gap usually after 10 mins doing this the red lense lifts out then just unscrew the half moon give the lights a wipe over and heat it up and push the lense back in then let it cool

simple

Just time consuming and you need patients! !

Yeh I can't afford that lol.

You do realise you'd be able to sell your UK rev3+ lights for around the same price as JDM rev3+ lights?

Is there really that much difference in price?
