I seem to go through a lot of bulbs in the tail lights of my bora. as far as im aware, wiring is all stock, except for having both fog lights working when I purchased the car. Anyone else have this issue?

take your lights out and check there hasnt been any water/condensation corroding the circuit board for your lights.

The product i bought is the same from the US .. the can color range is not very wide .. just you basic red , ble , yellow , white and black as far as i know .. anything else has to be mixed .. and done with some kind of special spray gun .. im not very experienced with that stuff .. so just went with red .. i was pondering orange first .. but ah well . pretty happy with the way it turned out ..
i bought my stuff from TJM as they are the only retailer in australia .. thought i'd support .. however you can get them cheaper from the US .. like 5 bucks or so ..

Thanks mate, I'll look into it. I'm mainly looking for different colours... see what I can figure out...

...now you mention the orange, maybe half way between your red & orange... hmmmm.... maybe one side of that & one side of dark metallic gunmetal grey, see which I like..

Set on ebay for $800, probably the going rate for them. Finding them much cheaper is pretty much luck
