DIY Smoked Tailights

[pattywak]

I agree with Dinz...those are really nice looking tails.

Does it not matter if the entire taillight is smoked? Like you don't have to have the reverse lights still untinted or whatever? I'm just asking because someone posted a coupe rear end with the entire thing tinted and I was wondering.

That's the only way to do it actually, noob.

Tint what you want tinted, bro. When I first did it, I taped off the reverse part but I didn't like it. The lights still light up really well so its all just a matter of preference.

i smoked thease gay aftermarket tail lights that were on my coupe when i bought it... looks OFFICAL i smoked em fully black lol

how do you take the lights off? sorry, i know noob status but really. any tutorials of what to do?

 

[steadypimpin]

there are a bunch of nuts that hold the pieces on, I forget what size but they are really easy to take off.

Umm, I know a 5/16" will work...cuz I just used that the other day.

7 or 8mm? I forget.

Just look in the trunk for any long threads/nuts that arent directly associated with the connectors or lights.Those are the ones that must be holding the assembly on there.

I know on the coupe there are 2 for the center light that is covered by black grommets that you have to remove in order to see the bolts.

And of course remove the two bigger plastic covers to expose some of the bolts and to unplug the lights from the sockets in the assembly.


I don't know how much the sedans are the same. Make sense?

lol dam, i am so gonna do this after i do my cluster,front light,dome and rear license plate with leds. =]

 

[Fundillo]

yea cuz i said fuk it and did the lights that are on the body but that involved too much taping off lol
so pretty much just take off all the nuts behind the lights? can the trunk latch be left bolted on, id try but im at work
