My reverse lights appear some red color too, my photo above cannot present well. I have read someone cut the film of the reverse light area.

 

I just ordered a kit. My tail lights are in decent shape but definitely have faded some. Time for a refresh. I'll post before and after pics.

I think that the Guards Red paint helps as well.

Installed the kit today. I didn't follow the instructions because it was too early in the morning to drink beer

After the first corner - you can see the contrast



Job completed!

 

I just had the Gus tail light restoration and I'm thrilled with the results. Fortunately, I am a local, so he did the installation while I watched and asked stupid questions. He is a great guy with a fascinating racing history and needs the money for further mods to his track-ish 964

Thanks, Gus

 

How did you deal with the screw hole in the side lights?

 

It now just looks like a little circle; barely noticeable. Gus advised that in the event of need for replacement, it can be cut.

Here's a crosspost of my Gus vinyl kit content from *another thread of mine*.


Now my attention shifts to these.


Close up of my taillights show that they’re pretty cracked in places and not perfect.






I ended up picking up light tint kit from RL member Gus.

It’s a very complete set for the job. You will need a hair dryer, so make sure you ask your special lady friend to loan you hers.


Top stock, bottom vinyl’d. You lose your amber indicator, but I’m in the US and that’s still legal.


So out came the painters tape and the Xacto blade from Gus’ kit. Reverse lights are now functional again!

You UK guys can probably do this for the amber indicator area too. You don’t need to do the whole area to get amber to shine through, and remember when I said about matching the LED color to the lens, so amber bulb for the amber indicator, then trim out a bit for the indicator to shine through.


At the bottom you can see the final result.


On the car.


Reverse lights in action.


All my brake lights in action.

 

I cut an X in that area and folded the vinyl inward while I applied some heat w/ the hair dryer so that it would take the shape and stay.

 

Vandit,
The reverse light cut-outs look great!

bmohr,
97 interior... Meaning, just seats and door cards? Dash, center console and steering wheel too? And whatever else is different.
