A couple months back I got a fix it ticket for blacked out tailights, exhaust. I know Im gonna most likely have to order a new set of tailights, but I was wondering if there was anyway I could remove the tint just so I can pass the fix it ticket which is due in a few weeks. Is there any product or solution that could help lighten the tint or mostly remove it. Any suggestions would be great

 

Yes... Ask wdsoccer, he did it...

Should need paint thinner, and polishing compound...

 

Moved to Appearance, please post in the correct section

 

Cool I have some paint thinner already!

 

how dark are they possible trade

 

They are dark as can be, at night you can see them fine but during the day no way

 

watch with paint thinner, it will eat away at the plastic, so be careful with the paint thinner, i did the same with my headlights tinted them with nightshades and i didnt like it and i did a test spot on the inside plastic to see if it will melt the plastic and it was fine so lightly i went over a little of the tint and it came off very easy, just i wiped it every so often to make sure it wasnt melting the plsatic

 

Damn never mind that is dark

 

i would go to a paint store either automotive or residential and tell them your predicamint and the should be able to hook you up with a thinner thats not to hot as to melt your plastic or maybe even a steipper (the chemical kind not the female)

 

Also use a razor blade with the paint thinner. Just be careful not to scratch the lights but it works really good.

 

Yea I got some paint thinner im gonna take the tint off tomorrow I dont care if the lights look like **** I just need to pass the ticket. Im gonna order some new lights eventually.

 

dumb ricer, the cops doing a good thing, you shouldnt be adding an exhaust or tinting your taillights in the 1st place.

 

whats wrong with exhaust?

 

My catback is really loud partly because of my header and catless d/p

 

its a noise maker, that does nothing (in this case)

 

why dont you contribute something useful or STFU...


your welcome for the new addition

 

i just lol'd

 

wow the ignorance of people

any ways, just sand them down to a lighter shade like i did and you will be ok. Heck come by my place and ill do it

 

Well i donno if u can get ur hands on it or not,but Graffiti Spray Remover will take it off with no problems..i have like 50 cans at work

 

Try some goo off.That should lighten it or remove it completly.Be carefull though,alot of that **** will discolor the lens.On my old car,i removed the spray tint with goo off.It took it right off,but the lens turned white.I thought i needed new lights,but i sprayed some clear coat on them,and they looked normal again.
