Intrest in lights?
 

Okay guys I finally have the right technique to make these lights look OEM. For those that don't know I'm fabricating the FB taillights to be similar to the S5/99 Spec lights with the circles. My lights are smoked out so anyone who doesn't have their lights smoked out, the circles will be visible through the clear outer lense just like the S5/99 Spec lights. Now I'm just trying to track down a taillight to make a prototype of the light with the new technique. I'll include some pics of how I have the lights now so you get an idea of how it will look. Anyone interested can let me know via PM or make a list on here. Thanks

Any idea on price?

That looks cool! I like that alot, I will be investing

What are you actually doing though? Im sorry i didnt read your other thread. How much $? Will you smoke them well you are at it?

Price should be around $50 for a set plus shipping. I can smoke the lights to your specification if you like for extra. Probably about $15 or $20 extra to cover the cost of the tint. I pull the lense apart and mask out the circles, paint the lights, and reassemble. I can do these in a 1 day turn around.
EDIT: I can also smoke any of your lights, just PM me with the details on what you want smoked and how much.

I'll defintely have to get me a set of non smoked ones. I've always wanted to do this myself, but just never got around to it. And for 50 bucks, I'll gladly pay to have you do it. :)

Very awesome. I still want to make a prototype to show you guys how the finalized product will look. We should start a list going of who would be interested in a set.
1: boohame - Non smoked

The daylight photo in the attatchment is smoked, right? Would it be possible to see how they look during the day, in a non smoked version?

Im down for a smoked set.

That's why I wanna make a prototype first, so you can see how they looked non smoked. My lights are smoked with 3 coats. Although here is a picture from before I smoked my lights. You just have to look really closely

1: boohame - Non smoked
2: RX(ZONE) - Smoked

Okay I'm starting to get materials gathered up so once I get a light or set of lights for the prototype I can make it and get pics up. Then I can start taking lights. Back up to the top

I may have a set of lights. We'll see how the sale goes. Bump for interest

Well I got all my supplies I need. Now I'm just waiting on a set of lights to build protos. Back to the top for interest

soo...do we send you our tail lights and then you get them back to us ?

I like the not smoked ones

gots pay pal lemme know

Once I make the prototypes and are happy with them I am going to send them to RX(ZONE) first with a $20 core charge. Then he will just send me his lights and I will send the $20 core charge back to him. This way we don't have to have any 7's down without taillights. Here's how we will do it with shipping and paying. You can send the $50 plus $20 core charge and I will send the lights. The shipping will come out of the core charge. If shipping is more than $20 I will let you know. Once the lights are on their way I will tell you what the shipping cost id do you know when you send me your lights. I have a set of lights located and will be getting them this week hopefully. So far we have:
1: boohame - Non smoked
2: RX(ZONE) - Smoked
3: notveryhappyjack - Non smoked

Sounds good man. :bigthumb:

Money order is out for the lights. Hopefully should get them either late this week or next week. Back to the top for interest

Nobody else is interested in a set of these lights? Bump

I can also just smoke lights for anybody as well. If anybody has any ideas on any other type of light design or what not post up and it could become a reality. Bump for interest

Alright the lights are on their way and should arrive by Tuesday. I have off on Tuesday so I will get the protos made up as soon as I get them. I'll take pics and get them up on here and get them shipped off to RX(ZONE) probably Wednesday. Then I'll start taking lights.

im definately interested in a set. i want to see some better pics after you get the prototypes finished.

Awesome. You wanna smoked set or non smoked set?

im not sure. i need to see better pics of both. i dont see how you achieve the look without smoking them. i think id probably want smoked, but id be afraid of how it effects the effectiveness of the lights

I can also just do 1 or two coats so it's not completely blacked out. I can smoke them to what ever you want. I think I'll make the protos and take pics and smoke one and take a pic

Bump for interest

Okay guys I'll have the lights tomorrow. I was doing some practicing today with a piece of cardboard and I think these are going to turn out awesome. I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures tomorrow with the progress. I'll probably take pics of how they look without the outer lense on, with the outer lense on without any tint on it, one layer of tint, 2 layers, 3 layers, both day and night. I think that should cover all bases on pictures for everyone. Then I think aws140 will be able to better choose whether he wants smoked or not. I'm excited, I can't wait!

I got the lights and they are almost done. I had to go into work today for 4 hours so it set me back. Pics should be up within the hour

First pictures are in. Left side light without cover and with outer lense with 1 coat of Niteshades

Second pics are in. right side light without cover and with outer lense with no Niteshades

Third set of pictures are in. Keep in mind my camera does suck and the left side lights have 1 coat of Niteshades tint. The pics don't do these lights justice. They are beautiful

Right side lights. No niteshades. Will get day pictures tomorrow

Loving the lights man. Those smoked ones mine? :p:

Last pictures for tonight. Left side with 2 coats of Niteshades. I'd say they were decent coats and should be dark enough for anyone. Will get day pics of right side light with no Niteshades, 1, and 2 coats. I'm definitely happy with the lights. I'm ready to start taking lights when everyone is ready

Im ready whenever man. Just send me a pm on how you want me to pay.

Yep. The lenses do have some cracking to them though, although it's not substantial. I think two good coats would be good enough for you. I'm really happy with them. I'll ship them to you as soon as I know you can ship your lights to me same day or next day of recieving them

Well, i definatly wont be able to do it until atleast October 6th. That probably when im going to see matt, who currently has my car lol.

post some day time pics tommorow with the non smoked set on the car pls

also will you pm me with how were are going to go about shipping/paying for the lights and what I will do for the week that they aren;t on the 7, thanks -aaron

I will post pics of the lights non smoked daytime tomorrow. PM sent

Looking forward to that. :D

Can't wait to get these, I'm really excited!

First day time pictures are in. These are the right side lights with no smoke just clear lense. I am very pleased. I think you all will love these lights. Second pic is with the lights on but in direct sunlight it's hard to tell

Second day pics are in. Note, the left turn signal is brighter than it appears, I happened to catch it as it was turning off. Plus side by side comparisons

Few more

New pics. Right side light with one heavy coats of Niteshades. I'll do one more light coat and everything will be finished.

Okay last pics are in. The lights are done. I took a pic with the flash to show that even with Niteshades the reflector still functions. I like these so much I'm going to keep them on my car until the first person is ready who needs them.

those are awesome man but with the smoked lens are the brake lights still visible enough in the daylight.
also they connect to the stock wiring right?

Connect to all stock wiring. The brake lights are easily visible in the daylight. those pics are just with the normal lights on and no brake light. PM me if you're interested in a set or have anymore questions

With the new sets of pictures I really am torn between nightshade or no nightshade now. :(

Oh well, I still have a couple days to decide.


They both look awesome!
