Here is the before....really DARK!

Johnny Law didn't like the way they looked at NIGHT( ) so I stripped them and started again.
I had an idea..here is the beginning:


ready for tint:

4 coats:

masking removed:


Here they are after 2 more coats of tint and cleared, wet sanded, and polished:


I forgot to clean the adhesive off after removing the masking, so the tint didn't flow smoothly, and there is some splotchiness seen in the reverse lens.

some night shots:
parking lights


brakes


UPDATED, 3rd brake light now done..almost hides in there!

brake shines through nice, even in day light!

SEE THE LIGHTNING ABOVE THE ROOF?

interesting idea, I like it.

I have noticed now that i have tinted the tails, that its hard to tell the differance between the parking and brake lights. This definatly would fix that problem.

Not to be a total ass. I am very particular about my car so I really don't understand tinted tails and such because I switched to LEDs so I can give the assholes behind me as much advance warning as possible for when I brake.

pretty cool

they were dark before but from the pictures it doesnt look much lighter im gonna say you still get shit for them

I don't have a crystal ball, but they transmit 2x or 3x more light than they did and don't look tinted at night. Ill get better day pics - they aren't dark really.

Interesting... I like the idea. And I think it looks good either way.

3rd eye needs to get done too.

Love your car by the way, looks sexy.

looks cool.
i like the idea.

Looks good, what did you use to strip th tint off?

looks better

Industrial grade paint thinner.

i kinda like the idea, seeing it is not really noticable untill the tail lights come on... nice work

Nice work!
