Nightshade and an Oven

metrick1235 · Feb 24, 2011

So im going to redo the inside of my taillights and re-chrome the inside. They got water in them last year due to a leak in the seal, and flaked all the chrome off the reverse lights buckets.. So my reverse is pretty much the bulb and not bright enough... I have Nightshaded my Tail lights and was wondering if anyone has put nightshaded taillights in the oven... or if anyone has any ideas to fix my issue..

I'm having the same issue only on 3 / 4 lights.. I'm just waiting to come across a good deal on some good looking replacements. I removed the amber in mine too.

Worst case scenario you'll need to re-tint them. Buy spray tint, use if needed or return depending on outcome

Why are you putting your tails in the oven?
Sand. Nightshade outside of tails. Clearcoat. Polish. The end.

so he can open them up to re do the reflective bucket for the reverse lights.

Op the nite shades shouldnt flake off or bubble in the oven since its only going to be in there for a few mins on such a low temp.
