Tail Tinting

Hey Guys.

Tinted the Tails the other day... But I still need to tint the reflectors. Anyone know how to take the 2 reflectors off the bumper, also the turn lights next to the doors on the side? Help Please.

Ill have pics later today.

to take the side markers off the fender, take a flat tip screwdriver from the back side of the marker, carefully push it in between the light and the fender, push forward and you will release the side marker and it will come off. Be careful not to scratch the paint. The reflectors on the front bumper are held on by two phillips screws from behind the bumper.

Haha yeah, thats 3 coats. I have seen 3 MP's today and none of them have said a thing (I may have been speeding 2 of those times, cant remember). also drove thru the gate on post and so good so far. you can still clearly see the lights but just to be safe im ordering the led lights for the tails.





Im tinting the reflectors now.

O'Rileys. 10.99

You can get it on ebay and other sites also.

Its called Nite Shades by VHT. It reccomends up to 3 coats. I used 3 coats and then 5 coats of Clear Coat.
