The thing with owning a Probe is you can't really get any rear light clusters other than standard.
Standard
I do have a set of US rear spec lights, but they don't have any orange section for the indicators.
Early US spec
I could have used the reverse sections, but they are too far inboard legally.
So, my idea is to seperate the lens from the housing and get a plastics company to manufacture a clear lens. Maybe lightly smoked, not sure yet.
I want to remove the plastic bulb holders from the housing and fit in flat plastic sections which I can then line with LEDs.
I can then design my own look sidelights, brakes, etc.
Before the LED's go in I'm then spraying the housing black.
Once the LEDs are in and the new lens fitted, it will give the impression of blacked out lights from a distance, but should hopefully look pretty cool and still be bright enough.
Normal blacked out lights always look to dim to me and unsafe in bright daylight.
What do you think?
