De Tango Rear D3 lights?

Hi All,

I and many have De Tango'd my headlights but has anyone tried to De Tango the rear D3 ones?

I'm not sure I like the D4 ones and think the original ones without the Orange might be the shot.

I have the same feeling. But the fact that nobody did it since 2005 tells me it probably can't be done.

If I got a spare/damaged light I would have a go at ripping it open to confirm.

Surely the "tango" on the rears is part of the light lens, not an internal part like the front?

If the orange diffuser lens is a separate bit it is probably not screwed on like the front lights, but bonded on with the strongest glue known to man so removing it will probably be impossible without breaking the light

What is said clear 'strongest glue known to man'

If you say wanted to re attach the 'modded' thin strip on the front indicator.... Whistle

The lens is coloured red/orange/clear for the respective parts of the light unit.

If you take the lens off, there will be no colours behind it.

Though, if you do get it off, the orange part can be cut out, and a clear piece of plastic glued into place Thumbs Up
