I might use it for my back tail light lenses as well as my front parking lights just like racenut

Is it street legal where you come from? Maybe buy a junk lens from a yard first and see how it looks? Let us know!!

Good idea. You don't wanna screw IRS up.

it looks just like nite shade..... but I would look for a cheap set or sometimes people sell them already tinted on ebay

It's not street legal but plenty of people have them, just as well as illegal window tint... they get away with it but it's always me that gets caught lol

or i might do like racenut has and get a light bar to put on the tailgate so that they can't say they couldn't see my tails

either way I know i won't get in trouble if I just do the parking light lens

yeah I looked at ebay pre tinted OEM ones, not cheap lol. for 12 bucks I'd rather just do mine or like you guys said find a pair on craigslist or something so I can have 2 sets just in case the law isn't happy with them

I can see why they are illegal. Do u really think in bright day u can see ur brakelights

 

[panda24619]

you cant see anything on a bright day anyways. but thats why you add other lights like the led strip.

I can see other peoples brake lights just fine, not if you paint them black like that clown. I dont understand some of you guys, then you wonder why you get pulled over And if you have other lights that are normal then why paint the other ones black lol

i was going to tint mine, but i just put on the covers that nvy gave me. i also bedlined those. i think they should be darker, so later they will get some black paint. the covers give me that black look i want, but you can still see the red lenses and lights. i do want to tint my 3rd light. but im going to add some red lights on to my rack on the corners and amber on the front. just so people can see when im turning cause i know sometimes people cant see!

It looks really really good to some people. And if i DO do them I'm only going to put one or two layers. I don't want them "blacked" out, just a little darker. Gives it a mean look

if you do it...get LED tails 1st...the halogen bulb may not be bright enough during the day...i screwed mine up when i tinited mine...they were chrome and i wanted to smoke them...screwed up so i had to black them out...glad i did but it couldve been better...get some from the junk yard for practice then do it or pay...mine were IPCW LED tails...you could see when i brake with no probs with the LEDs...these are the same tails...the blacked out tails were originally chrome...i replaced them with a new set of IPCW LEDs...i'm going to pay to have them blacked out...

I would personally go with nite shades tint spray its a very good product (used on my previous car) and if you clear coat the lenses and then wet sand them they look even better. personally though I think having your corner lenses blacked out makes the truck look kinda ugly, I work at a gas station and i see alot of people with tinted corner lights and it takes away from the good look (unless your truck is black or white). Only other thing I think you should know is sometimes for some odd reason that spray makes the lenses warp and blister. I know it sounds weird but we used that stuff on my buddies Mustang GT, his lights warped and buckled inward. I wish I could figure out why it did that to the lights

Get them professionally done. Google "Jons Tinted Tails", the guy does a killer job and they'll look a million times better than with a spray can of VHT.
