Cody Chornobey Powley Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Did my tails today. In person you can still see some red reflector which is what I wanted. But it's still dark and looks good. Mid day lights are still noticeable and able to see perfectly fine. If anything I might lighten up the part where the leds are and leave the rest dark.

Cody Chornobey Powley Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 In the middle of doing the last break light. Wet sanded with 2000 and used mothers ultimate compound to bring the clear coat back to life. Finished it off with some carnauba wax for extra protection and shine.

2late4u Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 looks good BUT i am not a fan of owners covering their brake lights with dark coverings true some light shows thur but NOT like it is supposed to. guess thats the old fuddy duddey in me. in my 40 yrs of driving seen to many custom cars on the road with little tiny turn lights or darkened brake lights and have almost hit some because not realizing they are braking. oh well as i said looks good and be safe...... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Have the les tail lights is a plus when tinting them. I got my wife to drive down the road and still from two blocks away can see the break lights perfectly. Last night was at a meet and a cop showed up and said he liked how the journey looks for being a manvan lol. He said I shouldn't have issues. I tested them I front of him just to be sure. Time will tell I guess haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell I guess haha Do what you want to your car and let others have their own opinion I've had mine VHT tinted for a year with no issues, BUT I have lower reflectors converted into breaks:turns as well. So in total I have five break lights (2 lower + 2 middle + 1 high). Hope even the oldest dudes can see at least one of them LOL dhh3 and Cody Chornobey Powley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was thinking about adding some down there also. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I use my lower ones as rear fog lights. I have them wired into the tail lights, so they are always on when my lights are on. The bulbs are brighter than taillights, but not as bright as brake lights. No need to tint my lights, as the inner housings are black, not chrome.
