BigCabs back lights (how they were made)
Right, this is my contribution for today to get thread count up on MAXXD.com
I would have expected that most people have seen the Cab and if not why not? But I dont think people always realise what work has gone into the making of the phenonenon called BigCab. So here's a sneak preview of a small part of it....the rear lights. They've been done a few years now and a lot of you wont have seen BigCab with standard lights. Anyway, first off, there is very few aftermarket lights for the Escort Cab so I needed to get my moddifing head on. Looked round and decided that the 3D lights would go with the OTT look of the car. When I told people I'd bought some Punto lights they couldnt imagine how I was going to fit Punto rear lights on the cab. lol. ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB01.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB01.jpg) A couple of hours with a donour set of rear lights, a junior hacksaw and a bit of filler they started to look like what they did in my head. ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB02.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB02.jpg) A couple more hours and some black paint and YAY. ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB03.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB03.jpg) ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB04.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB04.jpg) Fitted to car and we now have a set of one off rear 3D lights ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB05.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB05.jpg) Ran them like that until the next paint job, then colour coded them and they look 110% better. ![[Image: LIGHTSFORCAB06.jpg]](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/alanmanRS/LIGHTSFORCAB06.jpg)

lol. It was a bit scary taking a brand new £100 set of lights home and attacking them with the hacksaw.
