What I did was buy a set something like this from e-bay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Landrover-lense-Nato-lights-...

I then sold what I didn't use and the old orange ones. I think I broke even IIRC.

It can totally transform the look of the car depending on the paint colour. I would definitely do it again.

the Nato lights are only masticed/siliconed in.......... squirt with WD40 will loosen them easily.

I did the same, these along with clear side indicators and VW Lupo headlights have really transformed the car smile

Got my Clears of ebay, just don't forget the chrome 'orange' bulds so you don't get the fried egg look. wink

Like this . . . .



In my defence, the bulb blew, replaced it "short term" with a clear buld painted orange (5 months age) !

just to drag up an old thread, I have bought some clears to fit, but cant quite tell how to get the old ones out, are they glued to the black plastic holder or screwed in?
cheers

I *think* that you will need to get a blade round the outside of the lens as they are sealed in and then Sikaflex the new ones back in

I have some clear lenses in the boot that need fitting. I'm currently at Newport Pagnell services on my way to TVR Power so might get them to do it while they have the car wink

Knife around the edge of the sealant from the front. Put the head of a rubber mallet against the light (Mine was about the same size as the lens). Put my foot on the other end of the mallet head, back against the wall and pushed. Popped out nice.

Clean the old stuff off and use loads of sealant to fix in. (I used a large G clamp to hold the light in place while the sealant set).

I then put some resisitors in the circuit for the indicators and fitted amber LED bulds. (Nice and clear when off)

Here's a pic just after I had finished.
