Ive been searching for a while now, I cant find where anyone has done this. Basically, perform the dallas tail light mod to the front amber bumper lights by popping them open, painting them black and keeping the amber lense.

Im not looking for that smoked looked, I dont want to do anything with the lenses. Anyone have any pics of this style?

 

I did this back in 2002. I think I still have them somewhere. Used black gloss paint but would work better with a few coats of niteshades on the reflector. It looks the same as if tinted the orange lens itself with poorer visibility during daytime, obviously...

 

I did it on my old 99. The front signals looked good, but you couldnt really tell the sides were done at all.

 

And yes, those were Mustang wheels.

 

Haha I was JUST about to point that out, I never knew Mustang wheels would fit our cars hahah

 

I came to realize this just now when I got done doing my clears. The fact that I did my clears sparked the idea of doing the ambers. That being said heres what it looks like done to my clears:

 

Are the sides done?

 

yes they are.

 

looks pretty good Kyle!
...can't even tell that you melted them

 

Notice one side isnt even shown...

 

Guess they do the same thing the stockers do... not show the inside as well as the fronts.

How bad did they melt?

 

oh, btw....nice grill

 

not trying to threadjack but dang! those mustang wheels look sick!(coming from a mustang hater) so props man lol

 

Agreed. Your pic gave me the idea to have my friend put my other friend's Mustang wheels on his max. Hopfully I can convince him to do so, cuz that looks awesome!

 

Ignore the corner. We're just looking at the melting of the bumper light.

 

yea those weight a ton i had them for 2 days my buddy let me borrow them..

 

Uhhh, isn't that just the AE mod?

 

Not really. I opened the clear bumper lenses (not the corners...) and painted them. They have a reflector in them which is what makes them look like the style of the headlights.

 

White + orange = not so hot.

 

So was the reflector not painted? You took the reflector out and then painted the whole inside black?
I painted EVERYTHING inside black, I thought that's what you were asking about...

 

this is the nightshade on the outside....

and please excuse the old look of my maxima..

 

Have you thought about doing this?

I did do that, but I decided to put the reflector back in. Better light in the day, and it matches the style of the AE headlights more.

 

ah gotcha....

(yes, I know, this has no practical logic or reasoning or correlation, but I just felt like throwing that out there. )
