Sparky Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hey guys just took all the bulbs out of my new rear units to see if they are all clear which they are.That means I will have to remove the one red fog light filter inside the lense. How do I go about this?And anything else I should look out for? Thanks Lewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 If you have the full glanza units, then the red reflector piece that is inside the jdm unit cant really be removed unless u want to break it off/out.This makes the part where normally u can see white light, permanently red. In other words, the way Glanzas show their reverse light is with the rear number plate surround (the white reverse lights are there)If like me you are UK spec starlet then your oem reverse light is on the top left.Using the full glanza units will require you to fix an external reverse light i.e mr bower or get the rear plate surround with the reverse lights.There isnt really any other way, I leave mine red and change to oem units for mot.I dont get any hassle.On a final note, the late spec full units are lush and far nicer than just the lenses glued on.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 OK guys looks like its late spec after MOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Sparky you do know that you dont need reverse lights for the MOT don't you?If so ignore me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Totally forgot about that Liam @ Graeme you have just the lenses and not the full units like Dub I take it? When I took the bottom bulbs out they are clear (like the rest of them) but if you look inside the light there is a little red filter.But looks like it doesnt matter!!Cheers for that Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I need to paint my fog light bulb red too, should I just use ordinary 1K car paint? Won't it come off when the bulb warms up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
