[DML] Re: Rear tail light lense covers update **photos**

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dick,

Yep they are held on with a sort of industrial black plastic self-
adhesive Velcro.

I have stuck mine along the black plastic of the light clusters so 
you can whip the covers off and you wouldn't notice the Velcro.

*** Safety is of the utmost importance ***, I would only recommend 
these for show use, as I said I will be/have done extensive testing 
to check how much the light output is effected.

I will only sell them when I am completely satisfied that they allow 
enough light to pass through them; this will include testing in 
bright sunlight and at night, if it is not achievable then the 
project will be shelved.

Front covers are next on the list

All your comments are very welcome and will continue help me with 
this and future projects.



James
