1. As far as I know you need to buy an all red set.

2. Have a look at carbs4ever's resto thread - he's fitted a solenoid to the boot. Don't know which one but he may be able to tell you

1. Just matz sell the all red rear lights, but looks like they aint got any stock of them at the moment, might be worth emailing them to see when they are getting them back in stock if your wanting some

I think you have to use led`s to get them to shine through orange, lamin x  sells them

Never actually tried them to see if they actually work though

It's easy enough to do all red rears with a pack of wet and dry, a can of tinting spray and clear lacquer.

They'll come out just like those on the ebay auction.

The justmatz ones look cheap to me, but I'm not a fan of those single lense crystal lights. Jap style rubbish :evil:

I reckon you'll always struggle with the red indicators, and the pink reverse light.

I did mine on my Corrado but masked off the reverse lenses:





They do fade over time though so might need redoing after about 18 months.
