TADDY Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 nice what did you use to tint them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 nice what did you use to tint them? Bought some californian meduim tint from South coast tints in southampton. Got enough to do 4 clusters at £17.00 really easy to apply and curve. This tint has Only just landed in the UK like 1 week ago & SCT are the only guys to have it.

Zugara Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I like the look but are the lights bright enough ? They actually look darker in the picture, the 1st picture is a better indication of the true colour. yes the lights are bright enough too.

UNABASHED Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 not sure about this one tbh. Try get some pictures up of the lights on for comparison, they do look a little too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleone Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hate to be critical, but we aren't all meant to like the same things!! I personally thing this may look good on a black Z, but I don't think I'd have ever thought of doing this on a silver one...not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bugger getting the things out tho. looks better in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bugger getting the things out tho. looks better in real life I still think they have aesthetic appeal, but would worry about durability of the film and light intensity of the lamps ........ so not totally convinced. Having said that, I would like to think that the custom look achieved by this mod can be attained by perhaps a paint spray tint and new LEDs as per the Husky mods that are in development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Not really my cup of tea but would be nice to see some more pictures a little further back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that the resistance was too low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the phillips ones were taken off sale due to being too white? I got them and think there great stuff though, far superior to the silvertecs!
