Hey guys,

I was just wandering if anyone has a solution for the cheap made rear tail lights for the KE70. I bought a few months back a pair from ebay and now the colors have faded out.

Is there a way I keep the bright original color?

Hi Michalis,

Plenty of videos on the internet, on how to do this, but is a lot of work to get it right.  A quick way is to remove the orange & red plastic lenses, & clean them thoroughly inside & out, then paint them on the inside with special spray paints for plastics, for plastic tail-lights.  A bit of research should find it for you.

I did it like that, years & years ago, & it worked fine.

Cheers Banjo.

If they have faded that quick, I would wonder if anything will help?

Pwrhaps worth chatting to Toyota Heritage. They have a range of lenses made I gather to a higher standard, and there must be a market with all the 70 series getting around. See if Gary will do a run of them.  

They presumably wouldn’t be so cheap, but there is a reason these are so cheap
