After tinting them in like 4 different ways and not liking how they looked. I have finally figured out what to do. I DIY Blacked out my altezza tails. I still have to reseal them and put them on the car. but I did some pics with the lens sitting on them.

i love those tails, have since i've seen em'.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

those look sick. i may rip off your idea, and do that. those are about the only aftermarket tails i like for the 7th gen coupe.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

be gentle on the corners when you pry them apart. I broke one of them off. Have to glue it on.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

looks real good but a little too dark for my taste. If i did this i would try to find a clear black to let some of the chrome shine through.

^thx

you have to be shitting me... bro those look sooooooooooo goooooodddd...wow man +1 for you bro. man last week i had a friend that asked me if we could black out his tezzas for his neon...so we tried. put one in the oven for the 5 mins like i did wit my headlights. 2 mins in i open to check..its a blob of plastic. tailights couldnt be the same i thought as headlights. they were molded together. liek plastic on plastic i duno but they dindt come off easy...would u like to write up a quick DIY i wouldnt mind doing this myself!!!

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

this is seriously sick! +1 for a super original idea

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

i did it the exact same way as the headlights. except i put the oven at 250 instead of 200 like i do when i do peoples headlights

I appreciate the enthusiasm

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

seriously... nice job... with all the repetitive post we get, it was time for something new... a DIY would be much appreciated... plus... you actually did something cool with altezzas... lol

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

^lol, I feel you with the repetitive posts
I will write one up as best I can since the job is already done. It wont be until I get the lights on the car though

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

sounds cool... as soon as my rims get in, this will definitely be my next project

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

I thought about putting the lens from the stock tails on these ones so I would have LED stock tails

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

thats also a goooood idew.... i dont know if theyed match up right thugh... sorry for the drunk text

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

Have you managed to take the stock tails apart?? I hear it's a real bitch to get the lense off without breaking it.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

Im really looking forward to seeing then on the car! Be sure to post pics when you get them sealed up. Thats a really cool idea. Oh and those tail lights will fit on an 01-03 right???

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

From putting the two types of tails next to each other they look like they would match up. But because I wasnt 100% sure I didnt want to mess up two sets of tails in a project I wasnt sure was going to work in the first place. The tails will fit an 01-03 but you will have to do some simple rewiring. there is a DIY on here for the rewiring.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

Alright thanks man..I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my tails. I was thinking of tinting them but I dont want troubles with the cops because the ones in my town are kinda *******s. But this should look bad ass.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

^that was another reason why I did this.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

Ya, well I might rip your idea off of you. But a DIY would be awesome like how to take the tails apart and such...Because I dont know if it is different than taking stock tails apart.

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

ok..waiting for the pics on the car..

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

def waiting for the DIY

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

how hard was it to take apart. i know when i did my headlights when i baked them it didnt take too much. a flat head and two sets of hands to just pry it apart and then the goo would just be splitting. is it the same stuff they seal these up with? did u run into any problems or anything. when u do write up the DIY, these are all good points you should include to make it a little easier for us. i never thought about changing my tails until now... so..let us know!

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

so what happened to the tint on them? did it not last or n e thing because im planning on getting those tails for my coupe they remind me of the mercedes benz tail lights and basically are the best looking tails for the em2 aftermarket wise

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

looks good man, hats off :tup:

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

Yep, thoes are the best looking aftermarket tails for our coupes (aside from the stock ukdm ones), and they look pretty good. The idea of swapping the lenses is pretty damn dope as well- I'd like to see someone do that on this site. Good job on trying something new!

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

looks really good:tup: ..... props:clap:

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

I will try to have them sealed and on the car by this evening

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

cant wait for pics :D

Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails
 

I only managed to get one of the tails sealed. I ran into some problems and had to end up removing all of the old glue (pain in the ass, took like 2 hours). The one sealed up nicely though. I will have the other light done by tomorrow/today.
