Seabass36303 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ok I need some advice on tinting my taillights I plan on using VHT but I need to know a good procedure. Do I need to prep the taillight by sanding it first? And I want a glossy finish so any clear coat suggestions or wet sanding and what grit? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also my first post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) I have simpler for you to watch a video than for me to try and explain it. There are literally hundreds of videos on you tube. Here's one. Welcome to the forum. Edited January 27, 2017 by jkeaton aukfan33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfeel Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 the black tint of the blacktop package is dark enough in my opinion, this is too much. and what @2late4u said, is right. The brighter your break lights, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabass36303 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am aware of the safety issue. But my brake lights are actually plenty bright enough and these are actually very Crystal clear can still red behind the black. Besides taking the light apart And upgrading the LEDs and board I can make then much brighter if I have too... mfeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probak118 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 That looks awesome ! Safety concerns can't argue them but, there is still the third brake light for drivers not paying attention to notice. Besides, how crucial are brake lights in the eyes of the law ( in Ontario anyway ) when legally; you only need one to work ? LOL. Just saying...great job on the tinting, hope local police are kind to you. Seabass36303 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Journey R/T Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I used smoked plastidip on my tailights, and I liked it, just I couldn't wash it properly without it peeling off. I'd reccomend a tinting wrap, wich I will be swapping this out for soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Please polish some shine into those things. That does not look good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Journey R/T Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I removed them a few days after applying them. I'm tint wrapping them in a few weeks. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
