but i just wanted to say that i tinted my tail lights with the VHT night shade and they look really good..

i did 5 light coats and than3 clear coats wet sanded. than i compounded out the tiny scratches and waxed to finish them off

total time about 2 hours to take everything out and put it all back in after the tint..not too bad but than was with the help of a friend

just make sure ur hand is steady and you are good with spray painting...

easy as 1, 2, 3 and $20

ill get pictures up asap

i got my new tires put on too :D but forget those pics

thanks..it took about 2 hours and thats with the help of another person...it was def worth it. i jsut wish i could get the 3rd brake light off to do that as well but its wired in

why did you wet sand them?

ORIGINAL: stanginlikeamug

why did you wet sand them?

when you put the spray tint on, its all like gritty and stuff..so in order to get the gloss look you have to add several clear coats..so after that youj wait for it to dry, get a sponge with some water and 1500grit sandpaper...wet the tail light and scrub til the bubble blemished from the clear coatgo away. than you use compound to take out to minor scratches in ur tail light. looks almost from the factory..

oh i thought u had the vynal

you put it on the outside of the tail light? i thought you were supposed to put it on the inside?

no way.than the reflectors and mirrors inside the tail lgiht would not reflect and ur lighting would suck...

oh. what percent are your windows?

its pretty easy. its only heald on by 2 bolts. but i guess you would probably have to take the spoiler off then the light off..that sucks.

oops...sorry. i wrote that wrong.

my 3rd brake light has 4 screws..so i pull it out and the wire attached to it i cannot disconnect.. is there somewhere it disconnects or do i have to cut it and than tap back into it??

i dont know what to do about my windows cause the legal limit in mississippi is like 30% but that too light. but if your windows are tinted too dark you cant pass emissions and without that you get a $75 ticket.

same crap here..i have a gold card to hopefully keep me in the clear if i ever get pulled over for tints.. other than that, i will have a shop pass me for inspection. i just have to pay like $100 for them to pass me

the lights from the sockets are in the tail lights. the 3rd brake light has a wire like built into it

just pull it apart and cut and crimp a disconect on the wies and put a piece of colored marking tape arround both sides of the crimp it may have disconect but its in the stock location and the new light has a diconect with a ling lead to the light that runs through the spoiler

Your lights look great hp. I'm glad someone finally posted pics using the spray tint. I put my order in and am hoping to do mine this weekend. Lets hope mine turns out as well as yours did.

make sure you do light coats and get the clear coat..make sure u have cleaning compound as well!!!!
