Anyone smoked their lights

Anyone smoked their lights not dark but like a light tint post some pics

 

[hvyman]

lots of people have. the look better when the center section is not brighter.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yeah, for whatever reason the NA lights have a lighter center piece... which looks out of place IMO.

i dont have pictures of it anymore. might have posted some wayyy back in the day. but i took them off and replaced them with new lights because i was getting pulled over for them all the time. like 2 times in 1 week and then once in another week. was bullshit i tell you lol. looked good, but to dark i think i did 4-5 coats of VHT night shade. my spoiler light is still tinted though if you would like a picture

I think I say some on Ebay. They look really good tinted.

 

[Letsride]

"Haaa! you got a laugh out of me "E" Yeah I tought he was talking about "Non turbo""
Me.. not to very smart":aigo:

Thanks "E" for clearing that up

I highly recommend this, get it at most hobby shops. It dries smooth as glass, works so much nicer than the VHT NiteShades.

Not tinted, but center section "fixed"

 

[MarkIII4Me]

I tried smoking them in the past.
The high was great, but the comedown was just horrible. Not to mention the withdrawls the following day :biglaugh:

Sorry, couldn't help myself.


On a serious note, does tinting have to be done on the inside of the lenses or does it hold up just fine if you tint the outsides? If I had to crack open the housings to apply tint, I think would just go with the VHT NiteShades.

 

[MarkIII4Me]

Btw, SpecialK, I'm liking those tails. What did you use?

 

[SpecialK]

^ Thanks i used VHT NightShades and its painted on the outside

Did you sand them / wet sand them at all? Clearcoat? They looked good at first but the more i look at them they dont seem as clear as ive seen.

How did you "fix" your center section ? I am guessing 1 or 2 coats of VHT ?

 

[Poodles]

Nope, removed the silver paint off the back of the lense and covered the holes in the back panel (if you have a black car this wouldn't matter).
