Series 2 Front Bar Clear Light Conversion

[sam5709]

was gonna attempt it today but carried away

if this clear light thingy works then many people may get interested in making their "lego" style bumper look the same might even b posted in the diy section ooo la la

[MearCat]

Places like garage-13 have clear lights to replace the round ones in S2 bumpers for $200, but I'm sure there's a cheaper option.

[JieLine]

this sounds like a cool idea, but for 4 door s2 the front lights are differnt i think? Does this mean we are screwed forever?

[alpinestars]

well i gave it a shot

but its not clear there smoked used vinyl and acrylic and smashed the orange indicator and glued and screwed the acrylic to the assembly

in the process just as i was putting the drivers side on i nocked the assembly and broke the glass of the fog lamp

not happy

looks okay i reckon abit dodgy will do till i get a new front bar

[mitchy_]

looks good andrew..

blends in well with the silver too.

[alpinestars]

haha would look better with both sides dam why did it have to break i was just about to screw the facea on and then drop the glass broke so cut aye it it was the passenger side i wouldnt give a shit so i have an excuse to make an intake hole

[mitchy_]

do the lights not come out of the assembly?

ie you cant swap the passenger one to the driver side?

[alpinestars]

nah cant swap em aye i tries oh well ill go to a few places morrow and try get one better not be expensive

[sam5709]

which wreckers

he said sumthin about "Aarons Auto Recyclers" he said theres a white s2 there that slid sideways into a pole, and the front end is all good, might help you with the bumper you are trying to find aswell!!!, also i heard split second have a pair of s2 fog/indicator lights!

[alpinestars]

umm where split second performace

[sam5709]

yeh split second performance in welshpool, 88 briggs street i believe, one of the guys there is my cousins mate, "rui" his name is or sumthin like that, he said they are doing sumthing to the front bar of a series 2 and are taking the fog/indicator lights out and sellin them

That we are my friend, that we are!

I took my fog light assembly out but couldn't work out how to get to the inside! didn't want to risk it.

On the S2 4drs the covers are clear but inside the globe has an orange cover over it (poxy, has to go!) but looking at the globe I don't think I'd be able to find one that emmits an orange light like my side indicators.

Anyone know?

[JieLine]

hehe i sorta realised that the cover is clear after i said it... so really we are just half way there

[alpinestars]

looks ok abit dodge when u look hell close at em in real life but meh

lights off...

lights on...

[sam5709]

great job andrew, looks nice, didnt end up finding a light but by the looks of it you found one,

oh and i took a pic of mine without the cover to show why my method of just putting a clear lense on wouldnt have worked, the actual light coverings are totaly different in size

[alpinestars]

haha i didnt find one i just chopped the fog lights out and just put acrylic there not paying 120 for something im not gonna use

[sam5709]

were can u buy acrylic from
