Here are some pics of my Tinted tail lights and reverse lights


Lights are still 100% functional and visible in day light and night time

more to come later

 

Looks good

 

I agree.

I gotta tint my tails a little. Looks so clean on a black car.

 

i also finished mine today, and yours look good

 

I had tinted tailights IN PA cops frown upon it lol. IN cali is it legal ? Ill be moving out that way after school but they look good

 

That definitaly looks really good.

 

I havent had a problem yet(knocks on wood) and I belive as long as the lights are visible from over 200'

Thank you, isnt that hard once you learn to take your time and do it right

 

noiceeeee!!!!

 

Looks great.

 

Thanks for the comments. I also put eye lids on the front too and it makes it look so much nicer. Gonna change them a little bit to work better

 

Whoa those are nice tails, Nicely done. How bright are they during the day and night?

 

looks good what method did you use?

 

Sex A!

 

they are plenty bright during the day(just brakes during the day, since its DRL) and at night look almost normal

alot of wet sanding mostly

sanded the tails to get inperfections and to level the plastic 800(looks like its messed up, but its not)

Looks Great
I Like It Alot Dude

 

just press the brake pedal with the car off

 

oh...never knew!!!! anther ?...I can't find any sand paper above 350 grit...where did you get yours from...sounds dumb cuz in high school shop I used to be able to get it all the time!

 

Wally world, autozone, pepboys, just about any where. Just look in the automotive paint section. If you still cant fins them, look for the assorment pack(not emery) they usually have higher grits inside(320,800,1000,2000) If not, ill pick some up and send it to you(with money in return) or you can send them here and Ill send them back next day

 

cool beans...thanx

 

pics of how the reverse lights look now?

I like these tinted, not such a big fan of other lights though
