MK1 Lights
these are the same on all mk1's with a roof, you tint them as below.
There has been a few threads asking about Rear Lights on a Punto MK2 so this thread is being made to outline the basics about rear lights on the Punto mk2.
3 Door version and 5 Door Version
The lights from the 3 door and 5 door models of Puntos are not inter changeable as the whole rear end of the car is a totally different shape.
Tinted/Smoked Lights
a popular modification to do to the rear lights is to tint or Smoke them. this requires some tint spray and depending on personal preference some lacquer. People tend to use Savage tint spray to do this which can be purchased from eBay and certain motor shops. Obviously if the lights get tinted then lacquered it will make them shiny and if they are left just tinted then they will be matte black.
There are some legal issues with tinting with regards to covering up the reflectors. Officially it is illegal to cover up the reflectors (at the bottom of the light) with tint spray as they need to be seen at all times. However some people do have this covered up and get away with it. This is to be done at your own risk!
Some examples of tinted rear lights....
these have been tinted and lacquered and the reflectors have been left uncovered.
These have just been lacquered and left Matte Black and reflectors covered up
And one more for luck
And some smoked ones........
(i cant find any smoked ones at the moment. please let me know if you have a pic of your smoke lights) (it has to be hosted by FF)
MK2B Lights
Another option is to swap the standard MK2 lights for the rear lights off an MK2B. These lights have a clear indicator on them meaning you don't have orange on your rear lights. Again this is down to personal preference whether you prefer the orange or clear/white look. If you are interested in purchasing these then the best place to look would be eBay, a scrap yard or find someone who is breaking a Punto MK2B.

Other Options
There are a few aftermarket rear lights for the Punto such as Lexus lights. These do not go down to well on the forum as they are associated with corsa's saxo's and chavs. The Lexus lights are available on eBay but have been known to not fit properly and let water in. Another option is to put tights over the standard rear lights to give a smoked effect. This method is easily damaged and again doesn't look very good.
Please feel free to add any other info I may have left out and a Mod will hopefully tidy it up. Also thank you to the people whose pictures have been used!
There are no lexarse lights that look good on any punto so dont even think about getting them
to prep lights for spray just remove from car and clean with panel wipe
