i wanna make my tail lights a lil darker........everyone is into that baking, and removing this and that.....

duz anyone think itll be a smart idea to jus take out my tails and put a film of light smoke tint over them?????

has any one done this?.....any pics??

 

Yeah this has to be the dumbest idea I ever heard!
Try putting a lower wattage light bulb in, dude.
Then wait for other dudes to your car because they didn't notice your lights.

 

I tinted mine from the outside, but its not a light coat. There still real visible, both during the day and night and Ive never been pulled over for them and I passed inspection with them as well.

 

thanks man....appreciate your help...and your pics....

AND AS FOR "CLIVE".......FUCC OFF *****......IM NOT INTO THAT INTERNET DISSIN ****.....NUTHIN GOOD TO SAY ...THEN SAY NUTHIN..

 

sleepa, thats kindof how the org works, alot of people like to respond to posts with "clever" sayings and not actually help eachother out.

 

LOL...I SEE THAT NOW...IMMA NEWB AS U CAN SEE....

 

just takes a little while to get used to. I'm not exactly a veteran either.

 

 

Did your keyboard malfunction?

 

I tinted my tail lights from the outside as well. I sprayed on a product called Nite Shades made by VHT. I only tinted the upper part, not the entire thing. But there is no reason why you couldn't put a few light coats on there to darken it up a little.
Here is a link to my cardomain site. Scroll down toward the bottom to see my tail lights.

I hope this helps out. Good luck.

 

Gahh... tinted tail lights. Next it'll be lace curtains, nodding dogs, and air fresheners.
Only way to go is a good bright set of LEDs to wake up the **** behind that you are coming to a stop. Or spend grief time with a neck brace.
And one more thing: When you get rammed, a smart loss adjuster might very well conclude that your modification of the DOT spec rear lights, invalidates your insurance policy.
Dumbest thing I ever heard.
Oh and for the newbie: take an anger management course.

 

Clive,
Shut the fawk up already. You have never even seen my tails lit up so how would you know just how bright/dull they are?
Theyve been this way for over a year now and Ive had no issues.

 

I think i ended the thread when i said thanks to flava 24/7.......thanks for ur help!

 

Hey Sleepa, Just Remember If You Use The Vht (which I Did), Make Sure You Count The # Of Coats You Use On Each Piece. I Makes A Big Difference In The Outcome. Hope This Helps

 

mm... that doesn't sound like it's the best way of doign things..

 

Just put them in a microwave and wait till your kitchen starts smoking, thats when you'll know they are dark enough, oh yeah and I prefer you do this on altezzas they are bright, since they make a mirror reflection.

 

i got my tails tinted with 20% tint.......i wanted to do the whole thing and leave the reverse light out but the heat gun almoost melted my **** on the bottom............so i jus tinted the top half....so all u see is black & red.....and my blinkers are still pretty visible....

thank for ur help peoples!!!!!
ill post pics later ...when i learn how to...
