Just wanted to share the mod that I did last weekend. Finally got some pics up of them. I used nite shades tint, 3 coats, and then had them professionally cleared. I think they came out great. Let me know what you guys think!

 

I like them, so you just used window tint? If so what percent?

 

No- he used nite shades... its a spray

I did the tail lights on my explorer and they looked awesome. Plan on tinting mine this weekend along with the third brake light to match my new "2006 Harly" headlights i just installed.

 

looks great, posted my new mods in gallery.

 

I also did the third brake light also, but have to get a new seal before I can put that on, I got one off ebay and tinted it. Plus I am waiting until my rear window gets replaced for the annoying squeak, then my cover will be off, give easier access to the light.

 

they look perfect. what do you mean by "professionally cleared"

 

I had them clearcoated at a body shop with auto body clearcoat, instead of buying spray can clear. My uncle runs this autobody shop, and he sprayed them with some of his best clearcoat. I figured they would look much better clearcoated with a profession spray gun rather than a spray can. Thanks for the comments.

 

That's pretty hot. How does it affect the light output of the lights now? I absolutely hate those ghay plasic covers that block 80% of the light from taillights/headlights... they should be illegal.

 

WHY?

Does the light glare through and burn your eyes?

At least the job you did looks of great quality though.

A+ for the effort.

 

i tinted mine as soon as i got the truck, but i taped off the reverse lens, gives it a neat look and you can still see going backwards

 

Looks like a job well done...

Not quite my cup o' tea but, definitely a nice mod!

 

neat, I like the exposed reverse lens look better, I hope you don't mind me posting your pic!

 

Looks good ...I should have done that to mine before i put flames on mine.
Later Trev

 

They are illegal. If you look at the box it says "For off road use only." I agree, they look like chit.

BTW ROBOOTS21- Very nice mod, it looks great!

 

Oh yes, they are illegal, but that is why I picked a set of lights on ebay and did those, just in case I get the cop that decides to be a ***** about it. The light output is still the same. I put the backup lights on and my brother checked them out before and after, said it is basically the same output. I have had a couple of my buddies with F150's comment on how nice they looked. I am really happy with the lights themselves, and now just contemplating the black headlights on ebay to complete the look.....
