Got a roll of red tint for $5 off ebay.

Trying to make the tail lights look more updated
Yes, I'd rather have LED tail lights though

Took me a whole 15mins to get the job done!

I am sure somebody has done it before, but would like to share with you guys and see what you think? (Beside I need a wash really bad?)


Before:




After:

 

Looks great, it's a nice touch.

I went extremo on mine. All red.

 

Nola, what wing is that on your car?

 

Are you guys taking apart your tail lights and tinting the inside? If so, any tips on dissassembly and tint application? TIA

 

I smoked my red section from the outside, then covered the whole thing with a few coats of clear.

 

Is looking like 9ff.

 

Its just a carbon fiber gt2 add on wing. It was a board sponsor who was making them a year or two ago.

 

NOLA - how did you do yours all red like that? Film? Spray? I like them!! Look great. Considering doing the same.

 

I tinted mine on the outside, just stick it on and cut it following the edge of the inside trim, lol

I have a few small cracked on the upper parts of my light, and this "mod" kinda hide it (a bit). So that is the main reason I want to tinted the outer trim.

 

I did the same. I bought car model tail light spray from the local hobby store, sprayed the upper half, and clearcoated the whole light. Had the same little cracks as you!

 

did mine a few years ago i posted the steps used model spray paint

 

Nice little detail

 

I'll be honest, that looks WAY better than I imagined it would when I clicked on this thread. Very nice work, and a terrific DIY!

 

What is this car model spray paint? I would like to find a way to hide the cracks

 

I didn't use spray paint on mine. I use a thick layer of red tint film instead.

It sort of hide it, but will still be noticeable when up close.
