If you're a fussy f**ker like me then take your time masking the letters :uh-huh: Have fun mate!

It wasn't that difficult, but then again it's a bit of a half-assed job... Here's how I did it and prolly isn't the best way. Wasn't expensive though. You need a clear panel for this [*]get the thing off (4 nuts) [*]remove any silver paint from letters so they are clear [*]cut the back out in the shape of a letter box (you'll never get it open as it's sealed with goo, grrrrrrrr!) [*]get some translucent red self adhesive vinyl and stick to inside of panel (mine needed 2 thicknesses to get the colour right) - £free [*]clean it well and carefully mask letters and black bits (masking the letters took a razor sharp knife and a lot of time) [*]get (right colour) spray paint and plastic primer - £12 [*]prime, spray to a good thickness [*]get a neon tube, mine's for a PC case but is a bit short, and fix inside - I used a hot-glue gun near the ends. - £13 [*]test [*]seal up with whatever you like [*]tag transformer wires onto tail light circuit [*]fix it back on [*]connect up [*]grin! - £priceless! [/list=1] Hardest bits were masking the letters and getting the right colour paint - the QM1 I had mixed was no where near the QM1 the car's sprayed in (apparently there are at least 2 QM1s...). Cost just over 25 quid ($65 ish). Bargain.

A bit like mine? I've since sorted the paint so it's something like and stopped the light leaking top and bottom. I may get a longer tube so that the ends of the letters are better lit. I'll get a better photo sometime too. It's sooo much better when you do it yourself!

Joel - U got any pics of the offending TPS??
