Well I'm just finished doing my jobs for this weekend, and since i'm well chuffed with the result I'm gonna show you guys what I've done even though there is way more to do...

When I got back from grocery shopping after lunch, the postman had been and delivered my flyeyes kit. On the bag it advised to fit within 24hrs due to some sort of stuff they put on the kit before shipping. Since it was warmish out with a clear sky I thought I would go ahead and fit it.

I decided to start with one of the tail lights, going straight for the biggest part...
The curved part of the light is very tricky so the first light took about 40 minutes.



Next light went a bit smoother and quicker but the curved part still was tricky.



Next I thought I would do the 3rd brake light. Quite easy to get out...
Open the boot...remove the 2 rubber plugs...use a flat head screwdriver through the holes to pop out the light (hold the screwdriver pretty much vertical)



Since I was on a roll and had plenty of flyeyes left I did the rear reflectors and side repeaters too.







The side repeaters aren't perfect but still look good. If the stuff comes off I still have more to redo them.

I tried to get a pic with the lights on but as it was still pretty light out its hard to see. I'll try and get some night pics later.

I also replaced the S badge with a shiny new one as the other was all faded. I have also de-fiesta'd and have plans for the old S badge (and no not on the front grille as I already have one there )

I think the tinted lights make such a difference to a Black S(T) (and other colours too) that I just had to show you guys. I'm so pleased with the results.

C&C welcome (Yes I know the car is filthy, its on the to do list)

Stephen

Absolutely fantastic. I thought I wanted this kit before these pics but now I cannot wait to get it!

Was it only the third brake light that you had to take out?

I took everything out.
I took the main light units out too to make sure I did a good job and make sure it tucked a decent way behind so it wont come off so easily

it's a real pain to do on the facelift rear lights lee
you need to take them off and use a hair dryer to get it to stretch around the indicator and reverse light!
mine snapped as i tried it without
