Tinted 94-95 tails...NEED PIX!

[94gtfreak]

I'm wanting to liven up my tails on my car and have planned on tinting them. My problem is that everyone tints the ENTIRE housing and not just the lens.

Anyone have any good pix of red 94-95 tinted tails with just the lens (where the light shines through) tinted??

Thanks!

I put 2 light coats on, then 1 thicker coat. I didnt wet sand them at the time because I was tired and I just have been putting it off for 2 years...

I only did my a touch to keep the functionality and you really don't need much. I went to a local paint supply store and when I told asked them for the VHT and told them what I was doing they said they had something better. They hooked me up with a high quality black candy paint and a uv resistant clear and it came out great. It was only $35 for everything including the tape which was the worst part but infront of the tv it only took 15=20 mins. Be sure to use the clearcoat as it will give a good smooth finish and help it last, mine survived 2 summers in the phoenix heat with no problems.

the only problem with doing it is if you want everything to match you need to do the 3rd tail light and the side reflectors but I love the look personally.

DFG. Beautiful color in person especially. My old Bronco was that color. Insurance had it marked as Blue, I knew it was green, and when I got my ticket, the cop wrote Black.

Might just be. I did mine in Az and then moved to indiana and have had no problems with them in either place. They passed inspection for 2 yrs in az...

 

[Paul]

I'm not talking about inspection, I'm talking about not liking how they look. It's seems to be just another fad to me. Plus, darkening the lights seems like a stupid idea to me.

I think they look good on a dark color.
brighter bulbs would be a good idea!

 

[ARdoller]

if you wetsand buff and polish them, you dont need brighter bulbs.

A darker lens is going to reduce light output regardless of whether they're polished or not.
