I smoked my taillights about a week ago and I finally got the chance to take pics. here they are. in a few months, im going to redo them and make them darker.

 

Hate to say it, but they dont look any different to me!

 

I see a difference. Darker will be nice. How do you smoke your tails?

 

They need to go heaps darker, but it's a start.

 

yah i definetely agree about them being darker. in a few months, like i said before, ill redo them. here are pics of the taillights stock, do you see a difference now ultratibby?


(i hope you didn't mind me using a pic of your car 01importshark. but if you did, ill take it off!)


well to smoke them, i put masking tape on the red parts. then i wetsanded the white part with 600 grid sandpaper. then wetsanded it again with 800 grid sand paper. after that i sprayed it with Testors Transparent Black Tint Spray. you're supposed to spray it, wait 2 min, spray it, wait 2 min and so forth until the desired darkness is achieved. then let it dry for 24 hours. next take it out, polish it, and wax it. and if you want, you can clear coat it too. hope this helps.

 

Alright sorry bout that I definatly see a difference now. One question tho. Why did you mask off the red parts of the lights rather than do them aswell?

 

Are you talking about tinting the inside or outside of the lens? :?

 

i think he is talking about the outside of the lens.... i've always been told to do the inside... unless he took the lenses off......

 

those look nice....now make em darker!

not to get too off topic or anything....but do you think wetsanding headlights and taillights with the 600 and 800 grit would get rid of scuffs and cloudiness? (sort of have that problem)

Yeah, I always thought that you tint the inside.
