leave em stock, tint them, dont forget the 3rd brake light, this pic is the lights and hazards so the 3rd light is not lit, nor are the brake lights, just parking lights.

 

Looks good, definitely a new one. I always loved the modernized tails in eriksseven's pics. Then I did my own and liked them even more.

Seeing the bulbs don't bother me, I still like it better than the diffusers. Might try LED's for my next set.

 

Good work rx7 drifter, you did something unique and useful. Do like.

 

I do like them better then no diffusers, with nothing in there they look like spotlights or something

 

Yo Rob, what did you use to tint your tails? VHT? I've always wanted to spray a set but have always held back for fear of ruining them... Any blotchiness? Did it lay down well?

 

I did not use VHT, if you search my thread on my vert lights I outlined what I used.

 

I have used the VHT and really did not like the results.

product is dupont imron, he mixed translucent or light solids black tint with clear.


Looks good. Wouldnt it have just been easier to say the product name though?

Haha, I agree.

 

it would have- except if the person asking goes to the thread there is a little more information including some discussion about the VHT.

I could give the ted answer:

imron

-ted

 

I'm starting to kinda like the modernized look.

 

i wouldn't want to mess around with my s5 tails,, i like em stock way better looking imo over "modernized"

 

^^^^Me too (aside from l.e.d.) If i had a black car, rob xx7s idea is badass.

I guess you could tint clear with other colors as well to match the car, t probably would look doodoofully asstastic though.

original is the way to go.

 

i like how some of the first posters light pics were taken on a mattress lol

 

Revived an old thread just to say that?


lol

 

Yea i was just lookin through some info on tail lights and i thought that was kind of funny so i decided to mention it lol

 

Now THATS how you do it... none of that LED/Diffuser-less lamps B.S...

 

After LED's this is the best look out there

 

I think stock is better then this...I prefer my LED tails though.

 

@ Ecko. Whats the deal with the paint on that flat black FC? Is it just primer, or primer with clear? I like.

 

bringin back the bars on the kouki, oh snap

 

^ nice i want to see more!!!

 

now that is something else

 

How do I remove the lenses?
