Snoopdan Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I used VHT Nightshades for my Jeep. I put a thick coat of it on, and ended up having them come out toooo dark. I just went to the junk yard and took out the headlights out of a old caddilac and put them in my tail lights. Problem solved! Anyhow, if you choose to use VHT, have some Acetone around to at least clean prep the surface of the tail light. Acetone will also remove VHT so if you screw up you can fix it easily.

SnowDrifter Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Don't do it. It looks stupid. I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. I think OP should do what he wants with his car because HE wants it. Not to seek our approval. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Oh yeah, Im not looking for opinions on whether or not TO do it, rather what to do it with. I've been pretty hardcore on keeping rear bumpers my whole life too, however that isn't the case anymore. I will be going rollpan with a hideaway hitch. The pan will be molded into the bed and it will be a seamless connection that I will fill. I'll be tinting the headlights as well and going with some bright ass HIDs since I'll have to break through the tinted case. I may even black out the front bumper and all of the billet pieces and grille shell Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

SLAYER1805 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just remember the law for us is that our tail lights and headlights have to be visible from 500 feet...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 They make bulbs that can make that happen.... I know the HIDs will have me covered. The taillights will be the ones that I need to cut through the black. I don't plan on going crazy black-just past smoked. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

TRTC360 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I used vht nightshades, not sure what sand paper my dad made me use but I sanded the glossy look off of the original tail lights, cleaned it up with that special blue sticky towel that's used to remove dust particles off of a prepped car without getting oil or water on it (FORGOT THE NAME) sprayed about 2 thick coats on, let it dry then wet sanded it and put 2 coats of clear coat on, during the day they are 100% black and you can barely see the running lights, but at night they look great. Here's a few pics of them. And Snowdrifter is correct you will get a slight purple hue but i'm sure that can be corrected if you swap out to very bright white LED's or something along those lines.

I couldn't freaking believe it dude. And the crazy thing is, TONS of people that live in A are transplants from somewhere much colder in the US, they SHOULD know how to drive in it...alas, they do not. It was fucking mayhem... As far as the tinting goes, I am gonna do the Rustoleum I think. O'Reilly has the VHT spray, but the Rustoleum looks like a good product. If it looks like shit, big deal, I can get a set of factory taillights cheap. I could probably even find some after market ones just as cheap on eBay. I wanna do the girlies white Scion xB as well. I've always like black in white Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
