I recently tinted my back light (done them prety dark) anyway, i got pulled earlier n basicly i have to get rid of the lights. I have heard you can remove the tint (how???). Secondly someone told me to just spray over them with laquer (What exactly would this achieve???)

Cheers

Bump

laquer take's the paint of you sprayed on, you can buy it for around £4.99 from halfords etc, get some mk5 lights on!

Got some already, cheers. If i just put the 1 or 2 coats on 4 now (whilst i save 4 some new 1s) would that still be ok

Do they just fit in place of the old ones

it really depends on the amount you put on in the first place mate!

yeah i have mk5 lights on my mk4 polo! they look great, they do fit, but 2 things 1, they stick out a little bit, only small tho, can't really notice, and 2 they both need rewire-ing only a two minute job tho, really easy,

Guna give th mk5's a shot, gota save 4 my holiday 1st so wont b til after christmas now

no worries

Clear laquer is a "protective" film for paints who ever said it will take it off is wrong...... get some washing up liquid or turps and use a scouring pad on it.

Thinners has worked before for me as said

Or you can just sand them down

it worked for me!

t cut removes tint spray but you need to leave it to soak in , does not damage lights

Acetone (nail polish remover) might do the trick aswell test on a small area though 1st if you go down this route.

Ok, another question. Basicly i cleaned off my lights but they looked crap so i decided to give them a coulpv coats of tint spray to see how it went. put 2 coats on n it looked ok but wasnt dark enough as id like so done another n the lights went dull (do you know what i mean). So I've saw sereval polos with lights that are darker than mine were with 2 coats of tint spray but still looked shiny / reflective. How could i achieve this or are these lights standard on certain versions of the 6n.

Cheers.

anyone

Clear laquer.

Will it look just as shiny / reflective as say standard lights, how many coats do u think will do it

Pretty much yeah. 1 coat should do it, though you'll have plenty left in the can if you want to go over them a second time.

acetone and thinners will melt the plastic and knacker the lenses

Pressure washer got it of my mates 106 front indicators.
