I have a black FX4, I love the front and rear lights, but the cargo light sticks out like a sore thumb. I don't want an LED replacement, I want a regular lamp that looks like the others on the truck.

Also, Id like to get ride of the orange turn signals on the side mirrors. A nice smoke lens on that would be sweet.

I have already replaced the FX4 decals on the box with a black X instead of the red.

These are the only style problems I can see that I'd like changed.

Anybody know if theres anything out there?

Tint them with ...

 

Lifted5.4lariat is selling the third break light tinted..

oh man, thats so ghetto! id rather use electrical tape. This might work half assed if the light was clear to start with, but to cover an orange plastic light with that would be a disaster.

 

I ordered a set of STX side mirror reflectors, or lack there of from my ford stealer. $13 plus tax each. and thats the "garage" price. In canadian dollars. Cheaper than anywhere else.

Here is what I hope it'll look for, except on a black FX4



That'll fix the first of two problems. Now to get a sensable looking 3rd brake light

I was thinking about using this on the third braklight. Anybody use or know of this stuff?

 

This from the guy/girl that thought NightShade was ghetto.

 

LOL, no it's not if you know what you're doing. Most paint shops will tint lights by mixing clear / black ~10:1. It comes out just perfect. Just order the STX replacements though.

 

After looking into it, I may do the ghetto can of paint mod. But im not gunna just coat it over, I don't like the look. I gunna do the painters tap and trim the third brake light with the paint.

I hope to get something like this, but instead of professional tint application, I hope to cheap out, or ghetto, and get this with a can of tint paint.




BTW, I have ordered the STX reflectors.

 

How much does that VHT Can of tint spray cost? they want like 25 dollars or more on fleebay with shipping n all.

I would think it cost 5-7 dollars in stores?

 

Its like $13 in auto parts stores. Thats why I havent bought any. I need to find more stuff to tint before spending that much to tint my side mirror reflectors.

 

Heres the first of the two Mods im looking to accomplish.

I took a pic of my truck after one replacement reflector. Good view of how bad/good it looked/looks.

 

I have my 2 month old reflectors for sale if any STX owners wants them.

 

how much do you want for these ??

 

Odds of the person still having them after over 5 years aren't very good.
