EXT: mod your tailights

[lo-specials]

/\ that looks pretty good man! how did you tint the amber so well?

I took the reflectors out and sprayed the top with 3 layers of black paint. I did the same with the red part by using 3 layers of chrome paint. Now I have to assemble them and polish them very well to give it the finishing touch!

Hows the functionality after its painted?

Well, I tried painting the diffuser, and didn't let the light thru

so i went with this


Has anybody modded, or atleast taking the inner lights out?

Nice. Taillight modding is going to become what blackhousing headlights was at one time.

In the 1st pic he took out the reflectors.. and did some ruby red paint i think.

[Camurai]

He didn't remove the reflectors.

Yep, the tail lights were all clear and I used 3M clear vinyl tape for the bottom. Had to fully reverse the tail light function as well.

Im tryin 2 convince my friend to give me his 91 LEGEND tailights! he thinkin of lettin me blk house them. Like ive done to mines. But its like a 50 50 thing.

Ill skill it if i do it for him, and his headlights to!

[QUOTE=TypeG]this is very similar to the way people black house their headlights.

i had an extra taillight to play with, so i did a few different things to show what it could look like.


i used a couple of flat head screw drivers and a hairdryer on high heat. there may be a better way to do this, like putting then in the oven for example, but this worked for me. i had it apart in 15 min. the glue is very soft and sticky. the lens is a hard plastic, while the taillight housing is flexable like tupperware.

once you get the taillight apart, you'll see that the clear reflector inside is two pieces.



the first one is my favorite. i'm sotra debating on doing it to my tails. i took the top light diffuser and tinted it black.



what it looks like put together.


Did u jus paint the clear part black?

[ikayto]

yes, he tinted the inside signal reflector black

[slick]

hey what kind of chrome did you use to make this? Was it that fake chrome stuff? The fake chrome i got doesn't look good at all
