Fiesta siesta hasta la vista

[OleVix]

Ok so i got a pair of mint fiesta rear lights with smoked indicators!
The old ones got very hot for some reason:


So i drilled two holes the let some heat out, should that ever become a problem


I took the old ones out and polished the pods from the inside with Meguiars sealant nr 20. Good stuff. Also gave the lights a polish to make them look like new.


Finished!



Not pictured... on the light with the reverse light on I used thin masking tape and red transparent paint, the white square in no longer visible under the pods like I did on the old fiestas:

What did you use to fix them in place? Sikaflex?

No mine are screwed in place, 3mm drill through the fiesta light and fibreglass in 3 places, normal wood screws with philips + head. If theres a gap in the bottom you can use black automotive "gum", looks like sika but isnt glue and never dries.

Thanks, i keep meaning to change the lights on mine - i bought it with the clear lexus lights and i much prefer the originals.

I agree the lexus type dont look right on a chim!
