If it's illegal to have smoked brakelights, i wonder if you have your wing light as your brake light if it'd still be illegal.

yeah, you need minimum of two brake lights that meet photometric requirements. the middle one is extra and technically not required, altho it helps distinguish to other cars that the brakes are being used more than just having two side lights.

Here is pictures of my car. I didn't bother removing the tail lights. I just tapped off the back end of my car. I did three coats of the tint and two coats of the clear coat.

Here is the final product.



The reason why I tapped it all off is because I didn't have a small enough screw driver to take the screws off behind the wheel.

hi hustlelikem0fo,
i think, that's a good ideal.
And why you do not do on a larger image.

Hi guys just wanted to say I completed this DIY project and got some great results! I smoked my 2000 civics stock taillights and I left a picture as an attachment. Big thanks to hustlelikem0fo!

if you need to take it off because of a fix it ticket would that be possible? paint thinner?

 
Rep Power: 811

you can use something like plast-x polish to slowly strip it off. if you use harsh chemicals like acetone/paint thinner it will permanently ruin the plastic. you may be able to get away with using isopropyl alcohol slowly and then switching to plast-x when you get close to the plastic.

I just used lacquer thinner when I took mine off the first time(too dark). It worked great and left the plastic good as new.

just finished doing this project and it looks great. i think i could have added another coat tho. its close but not as dark as i wanted. too late now since i already added a clear coat.

sry the pics arent the greatest it was from my phone but what do u guys think?

this was one of my first diy from this site!

i decided to leave the reverse light open since it was silver i thought it would be a nice offset

Woah those lights look very clean. I'm looking to do something similar to that but a lighter shade, like gray. Do you know if they make such a thing?

I'm going to try this on mine. it should look sweet with a black coupe

Found some extra stock taillights in my garage, so I decided to try this out. Great DIY! I used Rust-Oleum Lens tint and it worked great!
