one can should work for the tail lights and side arkers. you might be running really mow by the time you get the the 3rd brake light. all depends on how many coats you use and how many times you have to sand and reapply for your mistakes

thanks man. im going to be doing one of tinting the tail lights in the next week or so, even though its the same steps just slightly different i think the pictures and such will help alot of people out. i bought a second set of tail lights so when i get pulled over i can swap the new ones in and also i want to be able to take my time on tinting them and still be able to drive my car!

yeah awesome right up. i went ahead and bought tail light covers that are smoked, but i want to do my saleen spoiler 3rd light and my side markers also. someone said its easier to take the side markers out, i havent checked but what do you do to get them out so easy?

i left mine on the car... i know you pop them out but i dont know any tricks to doing it

03z28eaTer · January 29th, 2008, 03:10 PM

does anyone know? i did a search but came up empty, i may just mask it off like you did. i bought my tint off ebay 2 days ago, i'm gonna do my 3rd light and my side markers, anyone try it on the stock gt fog lights? i think i may give that a shot if i have enough tint haha

after you tint the foglights, the light comes out really yellow and crappy looking. for that reason i wouldnt do it.

i believe if you just get under the car you can push the side markers and pop them out.

can you tint your tailights without buying the light covers? or a whole light kit? can i take themoff and paint them the same wayu did the third brake light? and what about headlights?

01stallion · April 9th, 2008, 12:34 AM
