Weekend Project

[*BabyGirlJJ*]

I'm not a big fan of "smoked" lens'.
Not only illegal, but cut's down on actual light output.
And here in Richmond, B.C., you need all the help you
can get too be seen from the back. (Too many "New Drivers"!)

But I must say that I like the way Tom customized
His! Tail light lens'

Oh yeah!!! Those look pretty nice!!! I am looking at that, some reviews and what not to see if I want to try that !

What did you use to paint the lens? Steps Please also

Use Nite Shades ( by VHT ) to paint your tail lights, I have done two sets with one can and have enough for another set yet, cheap and easy to do and SO MUCH better looking than those cheap Chinese knockoff lights
two lights coats and you're looking good
I taped off the lenses and sprayed two coats on the lights, removed the tape and two more coats over everything

Thanks for posting your story & your pics.

I've done the "gutter guard" trick, a real cheap & easy mod. I still have of plenty of gutter guard left over to use on my gutters.

Painting my rear taillights with "tint" isn't a bad idea at all. I know just where to get some too. I plan to mod my rear taillights to add an extra lamp where the European foglight is designed to be. All it will take is drilling out a hole and adding a socket.

And the whole idea of painting the rims is clever. I'm not positive about the painting my rims with plastic paint. I might have to experiment to see just how it dries, how durable it will be.

one thing to take into consideration about adding the extra light where the rear fog goes is that it will not be as bright as your normal lights because we have different lenses in the US.

And I suspect no reflector behind the bulb within the lens, but it will look unique. I'll experiment with my idea and post my findings.
