You want the indicators red aswell? I didnt use any lacquer, the red tint spray leaves a glossy finish anyway.

I would personally leave them as they are but as said, laminx would be the best bet incase you change your mind about them. Failing that you should get the later LED ones to freshen the car up a bit.

This one?

I want them uniform? So don't want the clear bit to look lighter than the red.. Was going to coat the clear till its the same, then coat the lot once?

Can tint these up, if they look shit I will buy the smoked led ones... No great loss

if you tint the clears too red then your indicators won't shine through orange anymore.

i think 2 coats is fine. but i needed 3 coats to go from clear to OEM red rears.

They are common because they look good John. Not saying the laminex is bad, but these make the car look younger as well.
