im still getting used to them. i only did it because the stock ones just didnt suit.
they didnt turn out exactly like i wanted them....but i might try the mod again but doing it a different way :confused:
oh btw, it looks like the black in the paras is lighter than the black in the indicators.....thats only because of how the sun was shining on them at the time.

I think you need to use like a charcoal level of black for the mod, it looks to dark that way.

lol i thought that the inside of paras were blackdamn mits for using different colours on their lights! bad thing is is that the indicator lenses arent see thru like the headlight ones are so no matter what way you do the mod...i dont think it ever looks 100%
hmm...idea for a new set? i think so!

So what was the mod process for those indicators?
Paint on the inside or something else?

i definately think they don't look so flash due to the lack of colour coding of the front bar... contrast is a hard thing to manage... best to keep it to a few colours and be subtle...
an improvement though :cool:

bassically i left the blinkers in the sun for a while until the glue had become soft. pulled the lense off the backing and cleaned most of the glue off.
then i painted the inside edges of the lense with black paint. then used a foam (10mmx4mm) from Clarke and glued that all around the chrome. finished it off by using a black silicone to seal it up.
trouble was that the silicone doesnt match the foam or the paint lol. think ill get some new ones and try again. *walks to the bin with the blinkers*

The third pic looks sweet...
The first two look too dark and thick (if that makes sense?)
Maybe just the lighting and positioning?
Would like to see em in person ..... but that aint gonna happen.
I reckon they look pretty good man...well done for trying it.

Well I think they look good mate (the blinkers).
Orange ones would look better IMHO but your effort does look better than the regular clear ones next to Parras.

Looks a bit weird. But i like the black around the clear indicators. Graham (2speedy) did the black around the indicators by putting black duck tape inside the plastic casing.
Btw your front bar is really long. Think it's time to upgrade to a new bar :D
You can have mine with 2 free redback spiders for $30 lol
