Just another random thread but im thinking about night shading some lights and if people could post some pics up that would be great!

Thanks

 

My tails with just 1 coat on em

 

this is About 6 coats, cant remember exactly

 

This is 6-9 light coats.

and on the car.

 

Im thinking about doing this too, should I leave the reverse light? Its a 2dr. So idk how it'd look.

 

I wouldnt leave the reverse lights white on a 2dr but just make sure if you go around 6+ coats you might need to get a brighter led bulb for the reverse lights

 

Well, Im going to go really dark and put a clear coat on it. So I might need that brighter bulb ha.

 

yeah and if you have really dark tint then you have no choice lol

 

Here goes mine:

 

winnn!!

 

Im about to go do mine, all the lights are out but Im waiting for my bowties to finish before I start.
Prolly gonna go with like ten coats or so, and maybe a few clear coats.
And I got my new bulbs, ha.

Btw, third brake light is a bitch to get out.
And unless you feel like ruining your weather seal, better have some painters tape.

 

i did mine like zachs. but put 2 really light coats over the open reverse lights part.

 

Heres mine

 

 

These lights look way too dark for me, how do you guys not get tickets ?

 

In Illinois anyway, your tail lights just have to emit a red light, the actual lens doesn't have to be red.

thats mine at night...

 

You dont have to nightshade the 3rd brake light i bought a tinted overlay off of ebay that will look like it has been tinted but i wont have to do the extra work

 

Its all worth it
But I hope yours fits alot better than some I've seen.
Most dont cover the entire thing, so if you line it up perfect there'll be a little ring around it but if you don't it just looks awful.

However, I have finished my tails with about five or six coats of spray and one good coat of clear.
They look pretty good, I just hope they dry nicely.

 

^^^^ Post pics when they are done want to see how they turned out

 

Will do. Bright and early when I go put them in.
I painted my bowties this morning too.
Im not gonna lie, Im really excited to see how my car looks tmrw ha.

 

i know the excitement when i did mine i got impatient and had to do them again cause i wanted to see them on the car
then once they are on it feels good knowing that you did it

 

Im glad someone shares my excitement.
Little uneasy though cause my brother snapped my front bowtie in half.
So we glued it and sanded it down and put some tape on the back so it'd hold up through paint.
I just hope it doesnt break.
I really overdid it on layers of paint so you couldn't see the crack.

 

Sorry for the crappy pics, it was a cell phone and its pouring down rain here ha.

 

looks really good man
