anyone got pics of the OEM 4th gen tail lights smoked?? on a white car?

 

U might want to look in the 4th Gen forum!

 

whoops haha

 

I bought mine from SWAT motorsports when I was in Vegas and the guy sold me plenty to do all the lights if I wanted for $20, but you can try looking in your local area for a custom shops or tint shop and if not you can look online but it's a film made by 3M and is used by nearly everyone to tint tail lights who doesn't spray them, best of luck

 

anyone know how to take off the tail lights? I bought tint film from lamin-x.com and had a hard time doing it. I took out the clips and pulled back the carpet, took off the two black nuts and then got stuck. I saw a small black clip on the inside which looks like it holds on the the corner of the light that runs up the side of the car. I dont know if that clip pulls off or pushes through and if there are any other things i need to loosen or remove. Can someone please help me??

 

i bought mine from lamin-x.com around $65.

 

Notice that one lady pointing at that sexy Max, lol, goes to show u dont need to spend 60k on a car that catches looks, good stuff bro.

not sure if this pic is gonna be visible. tryin to figure it out. hope it works. jus tinted my tails. first time too!

 

you have to upload your pic as an html or embed it

 

I never understood tinting headlights.

 

thanks for the info, but idk how to do either of those... i think id rather embed it otherwise it would be a link correct? how do u embed it?

 

I tinted my tail lights with VHT nighshade. I did two coatings, and will be doing a third.
before

after

 

Pretty sick, what brand is that?

 

You take your lights off or did you leave them on?

Also did you do any sanding of your headlights or did you just spray right on it?

 

when i had mine done, they took my tail light off and no sanding was done just proper cleaning

 

I kept my tail lights on. I taped off the lights and put newspaper around them. I sanded down the lights, and then did two coats of VHT nightshade. After that I used clear coat and did two layers. Within the next week or so I will be doing another layer of VHT nightshade so its darker.

 

You should of just took them off.

 

yes taking them off would have been much easier considering how easy they are to remove

 

i took mine off too. i will be doing a tail light mode to it. similar to my headlight mode

 

sprayed black

 

Came out really good.. Idk if I am willing to sand down my tail lights just in case police want to harass me about them at least I can take the off and not have any damage to the lens. Great work though again looks really good; hopefully my overlays I bought do the trick.

 

thanx

 

I did another layer of VHT night shade on my tail lights. This is the third layer.

 

just smoked mine, its gonna look real nice once i have the windows tinted to match

 

nice

 

Looks good.
But how was it to put on?

 

Looks Hot....i will pay u to do mines

 

Hey jus want to say ur tail lights lookin good. N I was wondering what u did w/ ur rear turn signals? I tinted my lights n those amber bulbs have to go. I know they make mirror/chrome finish bulbs that flash in xenon. I was thinkin bout going w/ that. any input?

 

thanks. well the team for my car was black n blue so i went with this xenon bulb
PIAA Xtreme White Bulb. its blue and flash xenon white and the blue makes the inside of the white section blue

 

Hey its looks really good...do u know the bulb #

 

PIAA 7440 BULB XTREME WHITE (PAIR) 19225 :: SIGNAL BULBS (7440)
thats the bulb i have for my rear turn signal

 

Well I finally got the overlays installed and I have gotta say they came out pretty good. The material was think and kinda hard to work with but came out good besides a few bubbles (hopefully they go away) and the guy that installed them accidentally cut one of the tail overlays at the top but I didn't notice till I got home so I am going to have to use some black nail polish or something to fix it (no biggie).

Here is a pic of the back tail lights and the 3rd brake light:



We attempted to do the headlights but couldn't get the cuts that I wanted in the front. I wanted to have the High & Low beam sections cut out following the lines inside of the light. After I saw that the exact knife was cutting into the headlight I decided just stop it right there. Bad news is that my headlight has some scratches in it from the cut out but good news is that they are not noticeable unless your up close and personal to them.

MORE PIX COMING SOON!

 

so you installed the overlays and then cut the middle out? i wanted to get overlays too, but dont want to cover the whole tail light. want to leave the middle white. I was hoping they sold them precut though. guess not. thanks

 

Ya theres not a company out there yet that sells them pre-cut unfortunately

 

Other than the headlight knick was there any other knife cuts in the tail lights? Or was the install fairly smooth? I might have to install mine this way. I live in CA and cops are looking for any excuse to pull you over. Thanks again for responding.

 

I bought over lays for the taillights from lamix.com. They came precut for the WHOLE tail light. It was my first tint job n it came out pretty good. I also wanted the clear lens not tinted so after i put the over lay on i used painters tape as a guide n cut out the center w an exacto knife. Wish i knew how to put pics on here n ill show u! some ppl say embed the pic but i have no clue. If anyone wants to help or send a PM? appreciate it!

 

Ya same thing that I ended up doing myself. As for posting pictures you have to upload them to photobucket.com or any other photo sharing web site and use the url (direct link), then you click on the yellow icon with the mountains above where you type in the same section as the earth icon and you insert the URL there and it will insert the photo for you that way.
