and, yes, I know my wheels are miss matched (just got a new staggard set)....my fronts are on the rear and they are STILL rubbing, fenders need to be rolled and maybe pulled out to get the rears on.

Keep them clear.

Keep them clear.
That settle's it, Im going smoked. j/k, so your vote is...keep as is? I had clear/red lights and they tripped a code....dont want to deal with it.

i did the same thing. but get some smoked corners and side markers.

That came out pretty good, it looks classy like that. I sure wouldnt smoke the red part of the lens just the turn signal part. So leave it as is..

..Oh BTW, i'd smoke the corners and side markers too like what JedzE36/5 did ^

I don't see pics.....

Keep it clear. I think they're a little too blacked out though. I plan on smoking mine soon. Dakar with smoked.....FTW....

It is pretty dark, but I didnt want to see the amber at all. And they still light up just as bright as stock. These were four coats, i think Ill try doing two coats on the other lights.

did you put a coat of clear on it? i didnt and mine started to chip after about errr 1.5 years.

i think its a little too dark. i have smoked corners and i swore up and down that i would hate them before i got them but now i love them. they are so awesome.

got a better shot of your PCP smoke corners? I was debating either tinting my clear euro style corners or smoking them. But am afraid the finish would look kinda dull using nightshades or anything tint spray.

Go dark on the tails. And if you wet sand and clear after using nightshades, they dont look dull

ill see what i can find on the corners.....my account for uploading isnt working right now.

I think I spotted you on 169 north at about 7:55am passing the highway 51 exit.. was driving the wifey's 02 Civic though. You have the calvin pissing on france on your left rear window right?

IM feeling the smoaked. i want to do it now. is there a DIY on these?

for his we didnt clear or wetsand because the niteshadz actually came out glossy. i had to wetsand and clear mine. i am actually going to redo mine because i want more gloss on the tails.

its easy. first sand the light down lightly so the paint will stick. i used masking tape and plastic trash bags to cover the red portion of the lights. spray several light coats of the tinting spray. i did about 5 or 6 light coats. after that all dries put clear on then wet sand. also i recommend putting both lights side by side when you do this. my stupid butt did one light at a time the first time and one came out a little darker than the other.

Bwah? Just search on BF.C dood.

no we put 2 coats of clear on it..atleast i think we did....we messed up teh fronts and didnt clear those the second time.

as for seeing me on the highway...that prolly wasnt me..i havnt been out that early lately. i dont have a sticker in my window of that sorry.

I didn't see anyone ask, what did you smoke the lights with?

Nightshades? Does it light up red? I'm thinking of smoking the repeaters

that you will have to ask jed about...it was his can of smoke. i however :offtopic: used krylon window paint on my fogs...so they are permanently french : )

I used nightshades and it lights up what ever color it began as, as clear as day. Ive used paint on corners before and it didnt turn out so well.

I got mine from impalasuperstore.com, comes out to almost $20 with shipping, or I can sell you one of my cans for $10 if you want to swing by the pad fri or sat. You can also see how my tails and the other lights came out. And yes, it will come off with thinner.

Good deal. If I was to swing by on Fri or Sat it'd be after 10pm when I get off work if it's cool. Sunday I'll be free for sure.

So i'll come by your house Saturday night before you leave for Seattle. I'll give you a call on my break time if not after work at 10. How bout we all just chill at Lucky's house for an hour or two :buttrock
