hey guys... been procrastinating about showing this. It is a "smoked" diamond clear a$$.

This is my buddy with a 99 GLE.


My 95 is the car on the right and the middle car is a 99 SE-L.


Some REAL pretty ***** for a really cheap price. We thought we'd share our find.

Thanks to dtholman for this awesome idea!

That looks awesome! I like very much.

 

Links? Instructions? How to's? Where to? GET THEM???

Bet they would look hot on my color.

 

Agreed. I'd like to see the How-to on this. Should look good on my Sterling Mist

 

i assumed he just used tint spray right? i think a few others on here have done it. looks hot!

 

looks sweet.. were you get your tails? i been lookin but can't find any

 

That looks very good!

 

The car in the middle is a Sterling Mist... ???

 

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!thats nice! how did you do it?

 

yeah it would.



bty why is in called Dallas Nissan Enthusiasts Taillight Mod?

 

hmm, ive seen them, if you can do red clears then you can do this trust me

 

just tint the piece of fluorescent that you cut to put in the tails and you are done

 

looks sweet. How can I do it? Does anybody have instructions?

 

Not my style.

 

This was discused about a year ago. I used RC car window tint spray. Paint the factory lenses from the inside for best results.

 

actually they are just a lack of chrome...

 

thanks for the props guys ,we dont use any spray tint but I will get bluebob to do a wright up for you guys ,we have it down to a science now

 

looks neat on a black max

 

hey darrick you are still yet to add my pics to your site for the members

 

looks really good, if only that lil piece of red was removed....

 

damn i need red clears really bad... ahha.. 96 tails are kinda foogly..what do you guys think of the 95-95 tails with red out on the amber. think im a do that until i can afford red/clears. ohh... much props on the smoke.. get that write up done.

 

those clears are tight!!!

 

Yeah... I'll go ahead and do a write up. It's a cake walk!

I got lucky and got my all clear tails from a member here that wanted to do the skyline tails with altezzas, so I bought his all clears and made the DTM (Dallas Taillight Mod).

This exact procedure has not been discussed from what I could find before the search was removed. The reason it's called the Dallas Nissan Enthusiasts Taillight Mod is because we have a large Nissan group here in Nissan and one of our members came up with the idea. There are 5 Maxima's with this mod. 2 Black, 1 Sterling Mist, 1 Pearl White (about to be 2), and my Blue 95.

Yes, that car in the middle is a sterling mist.

As far as the red piece removed, that was a choice darrick made to keep. The other black max with the mod took his out and with a normal halogen peanut bulb it looks kinda fugly IMO.

To better explain the process, it's VERY similar to the diamond tail mod. After doing this mod on these Max's, I could never understand why anyone would put anything back in the tails.

Quick Instructions:
---------------------------------
1) Take apart turn signal taillight and remove amber plastic.
2) Spray paint the inside of the turn signal housing. (we just covered up the other part and used black flat spray paint from Autozone. we considered doing black gloss, but decided against it :dunno: )
3) Take the reverse light tail assembly off the car open it up the same way and remove the clear insert and spray paint the inside of that housing black as well
4) When painting, be sure to put on a few coats and get it all in there.

I guess I'll have to write a full write up on the subject soon.

Thanks for the props guys... we like them too!

RedMax95, we gotta do yours... i'd LOVE to see our mod on a red max... especially with a kit....

Chris

 

Looks sweet. Hey CMOE221. I think we'll do this instead of red/clears on your ride tonight.

 

but ive got my altezzas, i mean if youd like to do them to my stock tails be my guest, also i may be slightly enhanced looking by the next time i make my way back up north

 

Can you paint the yellow ones black and get the same effect? Or would that not work? I've got the clear inserts all set to go in, just waiting for a nice day to do it. I'd like to tint/paint them too, just don't want to *** it up.

 

omg-that is so tight! gonna be a must when i get a new taillight for the drivers side-it has a crack on the little sidemarker part-would i tbe ok to do it anyway, or would you guys get another one? I don't want it to like split or shatter. most definetly a mod i wanna do.

 

nice, i just did my front turn signals the same way.

pictures

 

the original

 

Which spray and where to get it?

 

Looks great!

 

We didn't put ANY inserts into the tails. We took the yellow insert out of the turn signal assembly and the clear insert out of the reverse light assembly. We painted the inside of the housing (the chrome plastic) black with normal everyday flat black spray paint we picked up at AutoZone.

 

Can you take a picture of the tails at night, with the lights on?
BTW, has any one done this on a beige Max? Pics please.

Thanks

 

How is the visibility during the day? The regular clears mod is bad enough but spraying the whole thing with flat black paint (even though there's no inserts) doesn't sound like it helps. I like the way it looks but I'm hesitant to make my turn signals even harder to see.

 

We haven't done it to a beige YET. SeximaGTR is supposed to donate his soon! Pics of that to come.

The visibility is fine during the day, IMO. Mine are pretty bright and so are Darrick's. We need to go out and take a bunch of pics with the lights at night and during the day.

 

yeah you can see the signals a lot better than stock cause you are taking the lens out of there you got the houseings cristal clear now,look closely at the pic of my car you can see the
bulbs

 

OK. We did it on CMOE221's black 97 last week. We used gunmetal paint instead of true black. Looks awesome. Now we're gonna do the AE headlights on his ride tonight with gunmetal as well. This is gonna be sweeeet. Thanks DNE.

so you paint the chrome and NOT the lens, correct?
looks sweet by the way! Guess I need to go get some orange bulbs for the back

 

Yeah. Pull apart the housings. A ll four of them. Remove all the lenses (orange and clear) and paint the chrome housing whatever color you want. Then reheat and put back the housings. you're done. It's easier than red/clears. No damn lens to cut.
