Where can I find smoked tail lights for my GXE? Or do I need to make them myself?

 

There is a How-To in the Stickies to DIY:

Unless ya talkin about something different....

Sorry, I don't know where to buy smoked tails except for the cleared out, illegal ones that Custom Maxima sells...

 

That is kinda what I am talking about, but I want to have my tailights completely black. Not just outlined in black. Do you know if this is legal?

 

Federal standards say they need to reflect red and/or amber and illuminate red, so unless you're talkin about tinting (which is borderline or completely illegal, depending on how dark the tint), then it does sound illegal to me.

 

if they werent supposed to be red....EVERY car wouldnt have red tailights

 

hmmm... well damn. Ok, thanks much guys. I hate the all red, so I will probably line my lights in black with that nightshade stuff

 

As long as the red and amber lights can be seen at least 500ft away they are fine

 

It took 5 years to get that added insight. Was it worth the wait?

We'll never know.

 

WELL, to answer your question. The easy way to do blacked tails is go to advanced auto parts and buy a can of tint spray. Take out your tails and spray thin layers until you get them as dark as you want. Heres how mine turned out:

 

Dude, you're not answering anyone's question. The OP hasn't posted on the Org since August 2005.

He probably drives a minivan now.

 

5 Years wow...Ya it Was worth the wait. Man that was long

 

I got pulled over twice for tinted tail lights.

2 different states.

I just bought the ebay clear/black tail lights and have had no problem.

 

Holy post ressurection Batman

 

you didnt insert a witty pic..im disappointed

 

Damn, Hotshot. Good one. Obviously you don't need me to be witty when you got it going on.

(I kind of miss my minivan sometimes. I admit it.)

Anyway, let's sit back and watch the noobs post responses with failed grammar to a dead question that needs no answer. Yeah... good fun.

 

why do you want to black them out? i think blacking out any tail lights are kind of ricey... but I guess that is just me!

 

me to dont really like them but hey eveybody got different taste

 

Didn't pay attention to the dates. Im sorry to inconvenience you.

Anyone who uses the search function wanting to black their tails may see this.

 

No man, you're misinterpreting entertainment for inconvenience. Stuff like this is hilarious.

True.

 

 

 

Nice use of whitespace, Moncef.

So what the heck is going on with the Org in the last few weeks? It's become really boring. Does this happen every Winter?

And yeah, I actually liked my Minivan. We had a 2003 Mazda MPV for four years. Small and (relatively) nimble, but could still seat 6 with luggage.

 

yes sir

 

 

Yeah, It'd be nice to be able to request certain threads for deletion. I can't think of any specific ones now, but I know I have searched for things, and happened upon threads/posts containing a question and most of the answers are "search".

just to clean out some clutter.

 

Winter really does kill the .org!

Hey, at least on the bright side, people are actually using the search on the .org. Only thing is, they find these old-azz threads from YEARS ago. Hah, w/e I guess.

 

See, now I didn't know that. I wasn't really sensitive to org dynamics until well after I joined; and that was only Feb '09. But it makes sense. Maybe with the holidays, too, normal routines are shook up and there's less org activity.

What we need is another crackerjack thread about a eBay FSTB that turns your 4-door into a supercar. Those are always fun.

 

Pretty sure the .org does clean out old threads from time to time. But at the same time, I don't mind having years-old threads around, just in case there's a mod I want to come back to later...

You just need to READ the dates on the posts before you post a reply.

 

Looks good on black or grey Maximas and the 2001's came that way so it is really a factory look.

 

Beats them making a new thread and reading eleventy billion responses saying "use the search button you idiot".

 

op should go with something like this

 

OMG I have to have this!! where did you find this pic? I want the fire one

 

I just threw up in my mouth. Thanks.

 

These things are real?

Man, I need to get out of the house more often.

 

Have an 00 and it is Gray. Hate the red, will do this black out DIY! It is going to look good! There's only year that the red tails came out right?

 

lmao, i google imaged 00 maxima se tail lights, it popped up on the 2nd or 3rd page.


whats funny is the basketball one actually lines up

 

get the stock 00/01 black housing lights instead. got them on my 03. never looked back.

 

Fantastic looking Guitar Pic's ... what music shop is selling these ... hope I can find a guitar big enough to hold one in the strings when I put things away

 

Anyone ever considered baking and pulling apart the housings and applying nite shades to just the red lenses? Or painting the backing black kind of like people do with the headlights? I think it'd look a lot cleaner than just blacking out the chrome tails.

 

The plastic is fused with the lens so you would have to dremel around the edge to get inside. Can't bake our taillights to separate them.
