Smoked lights/Tentioner bearing?:

Post by MK13 »

Alright guys, im looking at smoking my front, rear and indicator lights, i want to go pretty dark on the rear lights and have seen some people smoke rear lights to almost pitch black, just wandered if it is illegal to smoke the front lights too much?, without sounding stupid, i only want to give them a coat or two, but dont want to do it and then get pulled over for it, also, is there a particular technique to getting the side indercator orange plastic lenses off at all?, or do they just clip off?, im also after a new bearing for the tentioner pulley, my B is a p-reg 1.2 8v and cant seem to find any knocking around my local scrapyards, and cant find any online, anyone recommend the best place to find one?, cheers guys!.

Even though its a Fiat, it looks cool as in that pic
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
