tinting/night shade brake lights
 
Are there any good DIY's for tinting tail lights? I looked but couldn't find anything specific on taillights.

I'm looking for something that can be reversed if necessary.

I got mine done at a shop for around 160, and they are removable if I need to, check my profile for pics. :tiphat:

If you want removable go with either the GTS covers above or a film tinted tail... nightshades will not be removable.

you can remove nightshade somewhat... takes alot of polishing though. On that note, i would go with Tint, or some type of cover as nightshade isn't reversible in any short time.

Translucent plastic + polishing = no bueno.

Yeah def do a tint of overlay, my buddy had nightshades on his car, and when he didn't like them anymore he went to take them off....wasn't pretty.

Which would look best on a 40th? GTS covers or tint?

wfmrules3 03-22-2012 11:19 AM

any diy on the tint? Is there special stuff for taillights? What percentage tint do you use?

I also heard you can take off night shades with goo gone or a similar product. Is that not true??

I had a vinyl/tint shop try to do mine. They couldn't do to some of the angles on the lights. I've read a few other accounts of tinted lights that have bubbled, so you probably want them painted or the removable plastic covers.

I had them done with tint,it all depends how much patience and care the tint person takes with their time. Most tint shops dont tint taillights, but I was lucky to find one that did. They used a more durable thicker tint to do so. No bubbles or anything on mine so far, it has actually held pretty good for the last 4 months.
