I tinted my tail lights..What do you think?

[O-Fivecc]

Ok, did some VHT and clear coating on Sunday. Turned out good IMO. I wish the reverse lenses were a nip lighter, but its cool. The pics make them look slightly darker then they do in person, but here they are.

Looks Good to me....

[Twistedfreedom]

I like!!!!!!! I want to darken mine up

[von]

Nice how many coats?

[nickspeed]

They turned out sick! Now come do mine and I will take you for a ride in the only cammed VVT titan in the world, lol...

[pinoytitan]

nice steve!!! i wouldn't go darker cuz you can't see when you're in reverse. lol

[O-Fivecc]

Well, my reverse lense is the only part that could be a little lighter IMO, but, I still get plenty of light reversing. I would say that it was about 4 coats of VHT and 3 coats of clear. The 3rd brake light is only 1 coat of VHT and no clear, but I am still going to touch it up. Thanks guys!

Looks good man. I really like tinted taillights on the T now. What other plans do you have?

[eddie fonzareli]

Probably remove the chrome "U" from the tailgate and the Nismo sticker. Then I need to rder the front adjustable struts from Belltech so I can lower it. Maybe paint the wheels darker. My performance parts will be on this weekend. Then some shorter tires for the OEM 20's. Oh and some black headlight housing

[O-Fivecc]

Thanks guys for the compliments

[R3DN1CK]

how hard was it?

[tat2titan]

That came out nice man!

[O-Fivecc]

easiest thing ever to do

[R3DN1CK]

easiest thing ever to do

what do you use, some spray tint?

[O-Fivecc]

VHT Niteshades and 1000 and 1500 grit sandpaper

[R3DN1CK]

i'm too scared to sand my taillamps.

[O-Fivecc]

its easy man. I wet sanded them in the sink and 1000 is so thin it feels like your just rubbing them with a paper towel LOL

[08BLIZZARD]

nice work steve.. looks really good..

i put a few coats of wax and buffed mine out when i was done.. and every time i wax, i put a thin coat on them

[O-Fivecc]

Thanks man, yeah thats a great idea actually. I finally got to see them in ful daylight yesterday I think. Got home from work early and the sun was hitting them. looks awesome, in the sun light, you can see through it and see a dark amber fro the light. Its very translucent. Looks almost black at night and dark amber/maroon in daytime. I think it is my favorite visual mod I have done so far.

Hey 08Blizzard, what headlights are those? OEM with headlight mod or did oyu buy them? I am wanting to buy some that look like that, looks like they are going to run about $160

[O-Fivecc]

I'm either going to do that or buy them ones that are already like that. I'm def getting the black headlights (housing) one way or the other

[06_footy]

You are so going to have to help me do this to mine. When we swap out the chrome pieces...

[O-Fivecc]

Actually.....I think I might keep my chrome pieces LOL. Some people have talked me into liking them again LOL...Well maybe just the handles and mirror caps, we will see though. I will help you do yours, its super easy

Here here, although I think that going tinted would actually look great on a truck. I myself had considered getting tinted tail lights but when I installed them, they made the LED look so dim, you wouldn't think you had LEDs on there. So I ended up returning the LEDs and got some old fashioned bulbs instead.

[Donald088]

Well you have done it perfectly. At least you done it better then me. When i was trying to do it i just make it totally crap.
Good work. Thanks for sharing.

Old thread but worth complimenting. I like the style, didn't know you could paint tail lights. This particular look goes well with the clean white rig. Nice.

[fasttony]

They look great! I am planning to do that to my truck's headlights.

[proofhider]

To be honest it looked nice, but be careful for some states are prohibiting such alteration.
