smoked or tinted tail lights

[cstm68]

what is the best way to smoke or tint tail lights, is there a better way than using that VHT stuff in a spray can?

[mr48chev]

I'd plan on carrying a spare set because the WSP rather frowns on the tinted lens.
Personally I want to be able to show as much light from the stock size lens as possible and not do anything that might cut the ability to transfer light down.

on my car i sprayed them with krylon for plastics black. then wiped paint thinner across the lighting domes that absorb and transfer the light, worked pretty good

I used this on all the lights on my 06..... if you want to click the link in my sig

would window tint work??

[MrPhotographer06]

i have a friend that does that to his car [like mine] for car shows.. he uses 5% window cling tint . but its too dark for regular driving so if you want to tint it , get like 35 or 20% from walmart..

I used VHT Niteshade.

2 coats of VHT and 1 clear.




No problems with the police either.

It makes me wonder if my truck would look good with the lenses tinted

[MonteSS454]

Never know till you try.

I have been rear ended twice so I want my lenses to be as red and bright as they can be so that those brake lights can be seen. It might even come back on you if they can show that they couldn't see your brakes lights. Something to think about.
