i know its a bit of carnage... but i cut out the intire roof of the indicator lense...so i could get a paint brush dipped in black paint into the indicator without trying to pry off the indicator lense as its just about impossible without cracking the indicator lense..n i sticky taped an ear bud to the end of a long screw drivern wet the end of the bud in black paint so i could get the black paint in hard to reach corners of the indicator without mucking up the inside of the lense... the brush was a bit too large aswell so the ear bud trick was handy...

Heyo,
Those EF fairmont lights look sweet, you have to do the blinkers to match though, here a set of EF falcon headlights we sell:

Heyo,

SIM; EF fairmont/fairlane lights are very hard to come by (lots of people have asked and we've tried looking, no luck.) I imagine if we did ever find a pair, the wreakers would charge a fortune for them. However you could send us your lights we could modify them and send them back to you the next day. cost would be $110 + postage. (same price for any headlights that we dont have on auction or in our shop)

HuggieBear; Yes we sure do the EA-ED (one of our best sellers :) )
heres a piccy:

Image

and heres a link to the item on our shop:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... %3AIT&rd=1

And we also do White dial faces for the EA-D and EF-EL falcon and fairmonts, Note that the WHOLE face lights up at night, not just the numbers, We are the only manufacturers that make such dials.

Image
(the EF kit is the same for basic and full clusters)
Image

We also have clusters and lights for: XD, XE, XF S-pac, XF digital, Commodores and some Japanise.

Regards
Rene.

Cruizin_Central, any chance you can get a picture of the EF ones on the car? Like to know how they look. From about 1.5m away though.
BTW, those EF Fairmont lights look great! Nice job on these lights mate!
