Dallas Taillight Mod
I was planning on doing the Dallas Taillight mod this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and what your input is. Also, i was wondering about the glue that holds the lens on.
After I heat up the taillight and put the lens back on, do I need to apply more glue or whatever it is or is there enough on there. I dont want any leaks or condensation. Thanks a lot.

hell no you don't have to add more glue. that **** is sticky as hell son. i messed up some lucky jeans doin that. my best advice is use a heat gun and high temp paint. it's a really simple deal and makes a huge diff
i went from red/ clear
to traditional DTMs
Then I slapped some tint on em

+1 ^^^ on the advice about glue. No additional glue is necessary.
Just follow the DTM instructions on VQpower.com and you'll be just fine.
I put them in the oven at 175 degrees for 3 minutes to seperate, then again to put back together.

hey ted, what did you use to tint them. I tint tail lights daily for people but i use a brand called rikochet and it's like a clear bra material. Did you use regular tint? they look clean though, i checked them out up close when you were at work and sw your car...

Finiashed Product
I did these last friday. When I put the lenses back on i noticed that I could see the Bulbs in the housing. Something I did not think about. I think it wud look better with clear/rads done with this mod. I still like them though......
Here is the finished product:

damn i think that is the first time i've actually liked the *** end of a maxima completely shaved. well done. and about the bulbs idea i painted my signal lights black with the same paint. i had an extra pair so i didn't care if they got ruined. turned out really cool. not the best light output (go figure) but was bright enough and did the job

In relation to tail light talk, I recently purchased the Ebay LED tails for the 4th gen maxima, and I need help with a wiring project. My goal is to rewire the tails so that the led rings will serve (in addition to the parking and brake lights) as the turn signals also. I also want to rewire the turn signal bulb sockets to run in conjunction with the reverse lamps so that in the end I will have 4 reverse lamp bulbs, instead of turn signals in the outsides. I kno I need some relays i just need help knowing where and how to wire them. Thanks for your help.
