Tinting Rear Lights


Recommended Posts

for the tail lights, use Nightshades....buy it at http://www.summitracing.com ....you spray the outsides, it looks great and the light shines through great......

So the tails aren't dimmed at all after spraying them?

Ok can you tint windows with that stuff? And if so do you have to take the glas out?

Posted

the tails are dimmed the slightest slightest bit, not really noticeable.....the local cops drive behind me all the time at night and I have never got pulled over for them.....

 

 

.....I personally wouldn't use they spray on the windows.....

Ok 4 thick coats will def. dim the effect of normal bulbs. Super white bulbs are good. But i got the 3157 LED's and they work the best. At night there is really no noticable dif. During the day they are very hard to see. I have been pulled over for mine many times. Never a ticket however. And NO niteshades cannot be used on glass. But VHT makes a spray tint for specifically glass.

 

Buckethead.......MMFCCL :rocking:

yeah, i could see myself getting pulled over by these asshole cops in my town also...i'm a lil concerned about that...i don't wanna do it then get a ticket, then have to get some new tailights...i might test it out on some J/Y tailights if i ever come across some... but, ALSO...will the light tinting stuff work to tint a license plate cover?...cause i have smoked one's and they are not very dark at all :roll: ...i wanna make em darker!...

i saw on summitracing.com that they had VHT stuff for tinting windows.

 

Darksyde, what do you use 3157 LEDs for?? arent the lumina turn signals 3057??

 

the 3157 and 3057 looked different to me...hmm id like to get LEDs for my car.

The 3157 bulbs are dual filiment bulbs. As are 3057. In reality there is no difference between the 2. They are interchangable.

 

Right now i have modified the front corner marker/turns to 194 orange LED bulbs. As well as 3157 orange Led's in the front marker/turns. And the 3157 White Led's in the B/U light and 3157 Red Led's in every spot in the taillights. I like the look of led's. quick on quick off. Very bright. However led's in combo with niteshades makes for a normal strength brightness showing through.

also, did you nightshade the WHOLE taillight, or just the red lens?

exactly....someone gets it. My point was and always have been no matter how much shit you bolt to the outside of your car.....it doesnt make it faster, just goofy looking. Like a buddy of mine. He's got a 02' Celica GT. We raced together he had a respectable low 9 in the 1/8 mile. He slapped a full body kit and a wing on it and it was running mid 10's and he couldnt figure out why. :bash:
