Has anyone seen any white rear lights for sale? I've seen lots of clear rear lights, but they're not really what I'm after.

Thanks. Guy.

If you wanted actual white rear lenses you could always put 2 or 3 thin coats of celly on them. Loads of laquer. They'd have the same reflaction properties as the shell if you get it right.

hmm

In pooky's pic they really do look white! I've seen those in person a while ago, and they appeared clear at the time. Are they just the £15 lenses from minispares etc?

As for painting them, I think I'll just buy new lenses as theyre so cheap for a mini! Thanks anyway though. :w00t:

Yes you can buy just the top half but it depends upon how faded the bottom ones are
