Dee finally worked out how to get to my place.. so we spent the morning tinting our tail lights.. and we debadged Dee's car too while we were waiting for the coats to dry... I think they need the gloss coat on top.. but will leave it to dry fully before we go n spray clear coat everywhere..

Oh and it always helps to put the wiring plug back in when your testing if your lights work *looxit Dee*


Piccies!!

Tinted tail lights are illegal.
But you dont necessarily need to do them that dark but once u get started into tinting them you just cant stop lol


Looks great girls

Times up, post post post!

Could you get a higher watt globe to make the brake light brighter under the tint?

eek
07-07-2005, 07:03 PM
Tell u in a few hours when they dry and i put them back on.. lol lol

its been what, nearly 3 hours now? Thats plenty of time!

chuck then in the oven at a low temp (obviously- thought i'd mention that before u put it to 220degrees)

higher wattage globe? nahh, it'll be fine. Don't want to be melting ur wiring loom or tailight now. Plus, since u have another seperate brake light...actually, do u? ppl can still tell that you're braking.

Brakes can be seen easily through the tint.. and I have another brake light.. ego's was on his spoiler which aint there anymore...

On another note.. ppl that have tinted lights, what kind of clear coat did u use on top of them?

You have to hit them with some polish, autosol to get them smooth then some goldclass polish to bring up the shine, they'll look factory!
