Joti Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) The resemblance has not gone unnoticed Hehe - yeah, had that said in the past MORE than a few times!Mind you, Vin has a few years on me - he was born in 1967. I ain't that old! At least I was born in the following decade OK, so Cambridge light time. I am going to include a guide (of sorts) in case anyone is interested..... If you're not interested, I'm still gonna include it anyway Before they were on, they were already attracting quite a bit of attention (mainly from Oscar my house rabbit )Sorry if this is a bit like teaching you to suck eggs (who the hell invented that phrase anyhow?!?! it doesn't make sense!), but the two screws enable you to remove the bulb holding sectionIn the middle you can see the orange filter that clips in the indicator section.A closer viewSo I started at it with long nose pliers and cutters, but doing it this way it was going to take all day! I did a few bits, but then decided to bring in reinforcements - in the shape of a soldering iron The iron cuts through the plastic like a hot knife through butter! It was not long then until the first light was finished. See the difference!Now, when I did the first light, I popped the filter out and attempted to cut and snip and melt it - most fiddly. This time I left the filter in, and just "burned" a circle out of the baseThis meant a much bigger piece came out, and it would therefore be a much less laborious processTo be honest, doing it this way, the 2nd light took me about 5 minutes (the first took me almost an hour!)The bits from the 2nd light:As opposed to the 1st........Anyway, with the pair done now, all that remains is for me to pop into town and get some silver/amber indicator bulbs......I will of course report back later with pics Edited June 13, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) what you got planned next jotiDone pretty much all I wanted to it now Kris. Saying that, there is ONE thing that I may look at doing (aesthetic) that I have not seen done before, but at the moment I cannot find anyone who can do the job! That's all I'm saying at the moment - top secret............ Edited June 27, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
