hi every body im new to the site so bear with me but just bought my 3rd 406 only got her saturday but decided to make some of the clear lights every1 is talking about. just done 1 and it looks the nuts and it was SO easy to do ill see if i can upload a picture for you.

Welcome Damo! Glad to have you aboard!

how to make yourself a set of clear rear lights
bits you need:
clear mastic, red bulbs to replace the clear ones, hacksaw, pliers, and you may need safty glasses.
cut a small slit at the side of the red lense about 2 inches in and give it a tap with the pliers till it breaks

break the top layer of the lens off with the pliers watch your eyes cos bits will go every where

then run a small bead of clear mastic round the bottom layer to seal it up (it does dry clear)

fit back on to the pug and change the bottom 3 bulbs for the red ones job done

hope this helps let me know how you get on.

Thats a water leak waiting to happen

I'd rather put lexarse lights on than do that!

[damo406]

thats what the mastic is for. i checked them in a bucket of water to make sure they dont leak

It's a good effort, but it's illegal!

I know you've replaced the clear bulbs with red ones, but the reflectors need to be red too....

Sorry

The bulb reflectors don't have to be red, there just needs to be a red reflector (or 2?) on the back of the car - which is what the big off-horizontal strip is there for

[steve_earwig]

The lights still have all the focussing for the bulbs so, with red bulbs it's probably ok. Those reflectors don't look red though. Maybe they're legal, maybe they're not, I'd rather not have to argue with some copper who's falling short of his quota...

What, the big horizontal reflectors that he's taken the red covering off so now they show white? Illegal 'cos you can't have white reflectors on the back and illegal 'cos he hasn't got red reflectors on the back.

Oh christ I missed that. Yeah that's illegal and dangerous because it'll look like reversing lights. Thankfully the first copper that gets behind him at night should be pulling him over

[DaiRees]

Thinking about it maybe he could mask off and paint over the reflector bits of the cluster (body coloured a-la D9 maybe , or chrome strips or summat?), then add stick on red reflectors somewhere else on the back....

That'd work, you could be really fancy and have the reflectors within the O of PEUGEOT and the 0 of 406!

Umm, how small? Listen out for the crunch when it's parked at night.

I'm sure you can get translucent red paint.
