Just got done tinting the tails tonight... its almost 10 o'clock and its pretty dark so i wont be able to install tonight. here is a pic of them on the kitchen table Enjoy!!



I probably went to dark but i have an extra can of niteshades and wouldnt mind doing them again tomorrow if i had to. We'll see.

 

please dont take this the wrong way...... but i think you should redo them. i looks like you taped them off. when you light them up it will look funny. when you redo them paint the hole light and only tape off the the casing and not the red plastic. it will look better if youonly do three coats of paint.

 

nah i didnt tape them off... thats the weird thing. I event sprayed that **** like crazy its dark but not as dark as the rest of the lenses. I must be super noob at using a spray paint can

 

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to dark

 

Dark FTW!!. Mine are about that dark and i've driven infront of cops, beside cops, on the highway and there fine. You can still see mine during the day as well. you could do a few more coats of clear to shiny them up a bit more, but all in all there fine.

 

Any darker in NC and I will be illegal:

 

installed... and do they look damn good. the light still comes through really well. I am going to take them back out tomorrow and throw some more clear on them LOL they have about 3 coats of clear as it is now. i guess 2 or 3 more wouldnt hurt... probably hit them with some wax. Pix tomorrow!! Im so excited I cant WAIT!!!!

 

now use the extra can to do hte 3rd brake light and side markers

 

Here In Georgia, I asked a dude at a shop about doing this, and he didnt think it was a good idea.
Said it was Illegal. I know that question is asked like a million times in here, and theres a 50 different anwsers.
But I didnt risk it.

 

how the hell does the 3rd brake light cover come off?? i didnt take the carpet off the trunk lid all the way so im sure there is somewhere under there.

carry some paint thinner with you... it rubs that **** right off.

 

you have to take off the carpet liner to pop the 3rd brake tail light out.

 

If I remember right it is held on by two bolts and two clips

 

tail lights installed and looking like teh SEX!!!! - these are cellphone pics so their not that good.





I will do the side markers and maybe the 3rd tail today sometime... not sure about the 3rd tail light... i hate taking that carpet off cause i can never get it to go back on just right

maybe ill get one of those cobalt decals for it :P

something like this

 

Fail, take it off!

 

lol just take the carpet out. i still need to get mine done. only thing im afraid of is doing wayy too much and the fact that i usually have to drive my car every day. so letting the lights sit for a day isnt always an option.

and out of curiosity i asked a shop how much they would charge and they said 80 bucks. lol.

thats like 7 cans of niteshades.

 

Use one can, do 3 coats of 'shad, 4 coats of clear and they will come out like mine, 5 coats of nightshade is almost black, had to remove it from my boy's 07 eclipse.

 

i purchased 1 can of nite shades and 1 can to clear top coat. I did my side markers today and i still have some of both cans left.

It doesnt take long to dry... plus i did them over night. I waited about 15 mins between coats and just let them dry over night... then installed them in the morning.

during the day you really cant see that light... but @ night they light up really well. I know someone who had theirs darker than mine and he hasnt been busted yet so im not worried.



edit: 80 bux is BS man... take about 18 bux to advance auto parts (if you have one) buy the stuff and take about 2 hrs of your night coating then let them dry over night.

 

just go to autozone and buy the "clips" with the screw top. SO that way, you can just pop them right in and if you want to take them out, all you do is unscrew it loose.
