Smoked Taillights

[david-b]

I seen on Ebay the other day that some guy was selling smoking taillights for a talon. (He had Eclipse conversion). Is it possiblr to do the smoke plastic at home? I've never seen this done, so I was wondering how to do it. Hard? Thanks.

yes, you use a product called VHT Niteshades, some part stores sell it and its also available and www.jegs.com

how about an experiment with Testors transparent spray paint? Worked nicely on my tail lights, and light intensity wasnt affected at all...

Will I get pulled over for dark lights? IL?

[Shpyder]

dunno man, u have to check eith your local traffic laws... IL should be a lot more lenient than CA.

[drdisque]

it depends how dark they are, generally you won't as long as you can see the lights 50 yds away and the reflector still shows up when you shine a light on it.

you can do it yourself i blacked out my turn signals and tails on my eclipse (well smoked tails) i used a lense tint i bought at a VW shop ill try to find the name of it so you can get some (very easy and very nice looking)

[Dark Syde]

now that i think about it i think its called night shades
