anyone tinted their lights?

[Aimez]

just wondered if anyone on here has had a go at tinting their rear lights.
My friend brought some black tint spray and did his rear light on his focus and it looks brilliant.

I had a go at mine, but rushed it a bit and they went very tinted, then foggy and looked a mess. had to buy thinners to remove it. Was a nightmare.
Still want mine done, but will leave it to someone who knows what they are doing next time.

if it goes a bit foggy, just laquer them... i tinted mine and it looks ace, did go a bit foggy straight after painting them but laquer brought back shine, and i guess protection... apply enough laquer also and you can t-cut them so they are smooth as the original lights...
well worth doing in my opinion

I tried anyway

this is what they look like on my car
mine are tinted very very dark, i wouldnt say they were very legal to be honest... i put 4 layers on

 

[rashcupra]

buy some standard ibiza lights as cheap as you can get them and give it a go think it will either look phat or pants

Try it but I didnt like it

Here the thread on it

There is a company that can do this for about £40 I think. You just send you standard light to them and they make them dark, the finish on the lights I seen was first class, RobDon had a set done id I remember.

Cant think of the name "BlackIt" or "BlackLight" have a search to see if RobDon mentioned the company name but I cant think of it at the min, if I do Ill let you know.

will give that a go tonight( the photshop part i mean ) aint committing myself just yet...

Deffo dont think they suit the std rear lights, not to sure on the FR/Cupra varient tho! Good pics tho, and I think a few more layers and it might have looked spot on (for most colour cars!)

 

[tommmineh]

I think a light coat would suit FR lights

don't know if they'll suit yellow?
i did it on various cars years ago, not really thought about it on this one, but Andy's looks way cool, specially being a black car!

That looks awesome as it is!!! Unsure if it'll work on a Yella!
