Blunt hit for u riteeeeee now.

[F20A CB7]

Hi all friends of mine on this wonderful forum we have here. So finally got around to puttin my red clears in. I like how they look especially with the rear fog being there.

Shout out to 92bb2 for helpin me with that.

Enjoy.

Tell me these tails don't fukin sick.

I like the tail lights, they look good on the car keep up the good work

[F20A CB7]

Thanks for actually listening and looking.

Paint ur signal bulb orange.. or red. Which ever color u want. Just don't keep it clear. I got pulled over a long time ago for that.

[Cb7Black9192]

I will probably just buy orange bulbs for it, should be able to pick them up at canadian tire haha Thanks for the heads up though.. just got my license back last year, lost them for a year so one more ticket and it is bye bye for two

[F20A CB7]

Do you understand what I did wit the tails? How the r diff from yours. Pages 17 and 18 should sho u.

[Cb7Black9192]

Yeah i gotcha, I like the regular look of them too though, there are only 4 cb7s local to my area and I know all of the drivers I am the only one with these tails so I think I will keep mine the same

[F20A CB7]

I have to b creative. There's cb around with 5050 tails. But ill know no 1 will have my kind =) then I painted the bulbs.

Idk man. Its the art of puttin them in the oven and then regluing it and making it unique, I dig that kinda stuff. I can't let stuff go without touchin it up my way.

But ya man. Thanks for lookin.

got a bumper light from the yard for testing. i cut out the chrome dividing piece to see if i could get the light to shine over there. it doesnt. the next one im going to do the same without removing the divider. and clean up the edge so all of it is black like the way the tail lights look blackhoused with reflectors. do you just put those in the oven to seperate? here some pics

[F20A CB7]

Sweet lights my friend. I acutally opened my 9293s up the same way I told you about my corners, and used clear silicone to seal em.

[Quashish]

Cool I used a dremel took a while. And to seal them I used some weather strip adhesive I had. Keep forgetting to ask at work for silicone. But yup I ordered new depot set of bumper lights and corners. I think I'm going to use metallic black instead of flat on the ones that will be on my car. But for tails use oven then pry them open?

^ I dislike flat blk on blk house jobs. I use only gloss colors, even for my white house headlights I ised gloss.. .99cent paint. I won't use name brand paint for a blk house job of any sort. Unless its a special color and its not .99 cent , dang I love that store

Oven- use a baking sheet or something then put the tail on top of that. Look @ the last 2 or 3 pages ull see wat I used. If you look at the taillight, you will see tabs all around it. I think 4 or 6 total on each one. Anyways the trick is, to pry at that spot, and make sure its out, if it sets back in it will b that much more hard to remove lense.. one u pry the taps, stick something temp in that area, like a flat head of something. Just don't crack it, and keep pryin around that. My 9293 red clears came apart super because I kno how to do it now without a prob, and I pryed the tabs first, u want to stick a knife in or something flat, and pretty much lift the tab up, and push it back.

Ps.

Ppppewww man, get ur toes outta my thread. I only like girls feet.

[Quashish]

Haha didn't even notice that bro good tips. Eventually will get a taillight from the yard to practice on.

Looking back on your pics, you didn't really blk house them. Just a lil piece u painted blk.


You no the square reflector on the inside... I painted the sides,top and bottom blk, and left the middle alone, and when I put the lights on, you see a square cube lit up. Looks kinda cool. It doesn't disperse the light anymore since its blk on the sides and stuff.
