Hey everyone just did a new tail light mod (seeing as i'm 95 and I don't have many other options). I applied 3 coats of nite shades tail light tint to the top half of the tail lights. I think it came out pretty good, let me know what you all think





More pictures on my cardomain site! I am probably going to apply a 4th coat to the reverse light side to even it out alittle. They still light up with 90% light at night and probably about 80% during the day so its not too bad.

Looks pretty good. Excellent work.

looks nice man but i suggest maybe another 2 coats cause in the pic you could see the orange a little bit still but looks good. do they still blink orange?

skiboarder72

They still flash orange but if i put another coat on the orange part it will get hard to see in direct sunlight during the day, i'll do another coat on the reverse light because (when I upload night pictures) it's really bright.

looks really nice, I like it. I will probably try this mod on mine istead of reffing them out. Where did you get the paint, what is like full name for it?

Thanks!

Does reverse still light up bright enough? BTW you still should've redded out the amber cause you can still se it. You should've tinted the whole light but not that dark.

Good work man. I wonder if you can buff them to make it a bit more glossy? Looks good.

I have my tails totally sprayed black from a body shop and all colors still peep through just fine. Also, I used the nite shades on my clear bumper lenses, corner lenses, and headlights. Looks great with the dark emerald paint. No problems with the cops so far....been about 3 months. HID's still bang right through the tinted headlights. =)

What kind of paint was used to tint them?

skiboarder72

Its a product called Nite Shades and it is made for tinting tail lights. I had to order it offline because no one had the stuff locally. Yea I am probably going to apply another coat. The lights are still quite bright, especially the reverse. I'll upload some pics of them at night later.

Glad to see it came out sweet man...did you apply some clearcoat? ill have to post pics of mine soon..

skiboarder72

This is just 3 coats of nite shades, no clear coat. I don't think it really needs any I like the finish it came with.

Sean

skiboarder72

Here are 4 new pics of them, as you can see they still light up quite well. Sean, yes to the outside of the lens.

Anyone have pics of this stuff on a pearl Maxima? It might throw things off because its too drastic. Looks good on black though...where did you get it?

How do you guys think it would look if i left my corner reded out and tinted the reverse?

sean05

iTrader: (13)

So did u jsut mask off everything u didnt want painted? Im thinkin about doing this this weekend.. Did u spray anything over it after u tinted it? Thanks

aspec0002

skiboarder72

If I were you I'd put some clear coat on it ASAP. It's not for shine or finish, it's used to protect your paint from shipping which it will.

So... did anyone do it on a pearl Max, I would love to see how it came out, thinking to do it to mine..

Looks good, man.
You did a good job on them. I personally, am glad that you left the amber color under the black. I like yellow blinkers better than I do red ones. IMO.
Keep up the good work.

i redded out the outers on my pearl white max and recently tinted the inner on one to test it out. i have a spare set that i'm testing it out on. i only did one because my driver's side tail apparently has two stripped nuts so i can't currently remove it. anyways, here are the pics, i'm not sure how much i like it, and the pictures look different than the tails themselves, as they always do. the jury is still out, but hey, it's different and i tried.







the pictures don't truly capture the color...looks different in person.

Does anyone know a good place to get VHT Nigth Shades online. I saw they are about 12 bucks a cab and shipment is like 8 bucks. Maybe a little cheaper somewhere???
