Make your own? You can buy light tinting paints for indicators

It will come off as it's not got a protective layer on top of it try popping into a model shop or hobby shop and get an acrylic varnish aerosol you can get them in matt/satin/gloss finish that should hold the tint down

A mate of mine sprayed the rear lamps of his ford escort and to be honest they look very poor. Almost mat black, if you can afford them I would go for new smoked lamps :ok
Mmm what's that strange smell from my exhaust...

Brickwerks used to sell them?? Perhaps they're out of stock? ... Mr Baxter ... are you out of stock? are you planning to get them back in?

JK sell them for £70 - J15005 .... but they're out of stock as well!

VW Heritage website says they have them in stock for £72, free delivery I think
