Yeah I ordered nite-shades last thursday for 11 bucks at... http://www.spmotorsports.com/ATCmisc_lens_tint.html. I'm gonna do my side turn signal lens (the ones on the fender) and also my third brake light on my spoiler. I think it'll turn out good since my car is thunder grey. I used a gloss black paint for my headlights pqmike. But don't forget to sand and primer first.

 

I did this and I didn't re-seal it well enough and when i opened the lights back up to re-seal them the light was stained or something it didn't rub off anyone know of a way to clean this up.

 

If it stained after you installed and turned on the lights, it's probably from the oils off your fingers, that boils when the lights get up to temperature.

If you are talking about something else, get a picture up or be a little more descriptive so we can help you out.

 

well....its 9am.........im going on about 23 hours from the last time i slept and i just took off my headlights.....im taking pics of the whole process. maybe ill post a DIY w/ pics of the process.

 

quick stupid question....how many bukbs are in the headlight??? so far i got 2 out. is there any more?? and how do i get them out? i got the main 2 out. which im guessing is the main bulb and then the highbeam bulb






edit: i got 3 out. im retarded....but is that all the bulbs?

 

okay WTF! i put the lens in the oven 4 minutes.........nuthing wouldnt even think about prying apart....i did 3 more minutes.....it was easier but still its a freaking pain in the butt.! is it supposed to be this hard?

oh yeah...i still havent got 1 apart yet.

 

there are three bulbs i think.

 

yeah there was....howevere i couldnt get the damn glue to unstick. but oh well im so freaking tired right now. 25 hours no sleep. i just decided put everything back together. and do it tommorow with one of my friends. im gonna go sleep now!

 

Did this, took no time at all, but everytime I wash my car the lights fog up again. Back in the oven .....

 

ok again i say i may do it tomo, but who knows, just know that wheni do it, to squeeze real hard back together

 

You're supposed to leave it in the oven anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes at 275degrees. I'd suggest leaving it in there for about 9 minutes, the goo should become soft enough for the headlights to pop right open.

 

Gotta love the dark look!
Check out my registry, I also have a Thunder Grey and I got my taillights and third brake light blacked out as well. I also did the turn signals but i don't have a pic of those.

 

I did mine today and they looked awesome, well it was 11:00PM and dark outside, but I'm sure it will look good tomorrow. All of the DIY stuff I do I screw up somehow and this project was no different. My buddy droped my chrome insert while sanding it and it chiped a peice off that we had to super glue back on. And then I started to fiddle with the light adjustment screw not knowing what it was and I snapped the chrome housing for it, but you can't really tell. All in all though if you follow the instruction it is easy as hell.

I hope they don't fog up. Oh yeah, will I pass inspection with these? Too late now, right?
