for fog lights I would do light coats...you are going to drastically cut the distant of light output using niteshades on headlights or fog lights
and it can be used on any plastic housing lights |

The taillights are lights off Ebay..
Just look for 04-08 F150 LED tail lights....they were 139 I believe and no issues with mounting or leaking. I did re-seal them once I got them though Several different companies sell them on ebay here is the link for them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...=p4506.c0.m245 Looks like they are $119 |
Thanks for the reply. I'm really wanting to get these and put some Niteshades on them. I did my stockers but they didn't turn out like I wanted them to.
Would you mind posting some more pictures of your truck from rear angles? I'm kind of on the fence with these and would like to see some more shots of them. |
How many coats would you recommed with stock tail lights?
|
Im in the process of doing it right now. Am i supposed to sand after the 4th coat of nightshades or just clear coat it?
|
Those lights turned out nice. I have thought about tinting my hellas.
|
Im in the process of doing my lights now and theyre looking ok so far. Two things: 1)When i used the electrical tape the goo kept sticking to the light...It was a pain to get off with windex so I ended using goo gone. It took it right off. The only thing is you have to put a little bit on a paper towel because it will take the paint right off. 2) This is for those who have no taken their lights apart and sealed them...When you are sanding with the soap and water only do a portion at a time and dry it, otherwise the soapy water will leaking in on the edges.
Thats it for now. Ill post some pictures tomorrow or the next day when im done. |

I gotta say I keep reading this forum over and over.....going on attempt #3 for my factory tails. I can't get them to gloss like this at all, makes me just want to take them to a body shop and paint factory black/clear over them......kudos again man you really pulled off a clean night shade tone.
