Yep - unfortunately seems that the FOPAR was only for the 964 model - as the 993 has the darker red tail lights -

Gus

Just want ed to bring this back up as a viable option to make the 964 rear lenses darker red.
Even the NEW lenses are going to have the PINK TINT to them -
This is the easiest and quickest fix to going to a darker red on the tail light lenses
FYI - I have made over a 100 kits now and shipped all over the world -
All hand cut with all tools to get the job done.

Thanks for the heads up. I have one of these kits in the garage i had forgotten about

Gus

If you have crazed or cracked tail light lenses the film will hide some of it - ( look at page 2 to see what this looks like ) Bit really bad crazing or cracks will still be seen. If the lenses are really bad you may want to get them replaced, then cover with the vinyl film to get the rich dark red look before you install - it is easier, but on or off the job is not difficult.

Hi,

just a quick query. I'm about to have a go at this and was wondering what your solution was for the screw holes in the side lamps, how do you best tackle them?

Many thanks

Matt

Gus

If you install with lenses on the car just cover. If the lenses are off the car, make two small cuts 90 degrees apart or better is 3 at 60 degrees apart ( hole width only) after the film is one the lens and fold the tabs down into the screw hole. Do not cut with the vinyl film off the tail light lens section as you will over cut or miss align hole.

Gus, I just sent you some $s to your Paypal account for a kit. My rear lights aren't cracked just a bit faded, so I'm hoping this gives a good result. If I can pull this off anyone can as I tend to not be too "artistic" (but I can turn a wrench LOL).

Anybody has night pics with the reverse light on? Does it become red or stays white?

CBR786

did mine the reverse light goes red and the side indicator markers flash red as well all is not good here in the UK counts as a traffic violation. I just try not to indicate in-front of the Law. and I have a friend who is driving agency tester who passes my car for the MOT paper work. I have a old set of original lights that are really bad and if worse comes to worse and I need to test my car which is once a year I will change out the rear lights for the originals just to get through the test.

in Hindsight I would have cut a small hole or slit 993 style pre-haps for the reverse light and the same for indicators.

Recently installed red film over tail lights using Gus' tail light kit. Very nice result. Follow Gus' advice and work slow and wait for a warm day or use a hair dryer.

power_up - are you using standard bulbs and did you use the kit supplied by Gus? Both turn signal and reverse lights appear red on my car with the film solution fitted.

I have standard bulbs and was considering brighter amber turn signal led's to see if this might improve things, has anyone tried this?

i didn't use the kit but purchased some similar film on roll off of ebay..The reverse and turn signals really didn't look much different..just for fun i changed out the turn signal bulbs to amber. You might consider swapping out the reverse lights to a white LED bulb, many LED "bulbs" are bluish-white and might appear more white through the red film (I haven't tried it)
