What`s the best stuff to use to tint back lights Black

[stoky12]

i was wondering what the best stuff is to use to tint my 2 rear lights black

[TU-Tuning]

tint spray. Bout 12 quid from a motorfactors mate

[LSOfreak]

but then it gives a matte orange peel look, i think you will need to laquer it to make it shiny

[pow]

Use the tint spray it will give a shiny finish, then polish them a few days later to shine them up even more

[bridgeee]

i tinted mine with black savage tint which i bought off ebay and then laquerd them

Yea I'm planning on doing this aswell. My friend just bought some black tint spray from motorman, not sure if he used the lacker. But police pulled him over and said they couldnt see his brake lights so made him get standard ones fitted, taken to a garage and they had to approve it with a letter which he then had to take to the police station lol

[Proffitt]

I used the tinting spay you get from motor world for like £11 ish.

If you take your time and do about 5 coats and let each coat dry properly will end up like my old ones...

isnt it illegal to mod any e-marked products

ie, tinting rear lights = mot faliure, and possible prosicution if stopped by police

[budgieboy911]

It is illegal to fully tint the rear reflector but if you look closely you can see a strip that i havnt tinted ;) after the first coat i put a bit of masking tape over a section of the reflector and did the following 4 coats...was pulled by the police a few times and never said any thing about the rear lights because the reflector was still there :y:

BTW how much is ur sax lowerd by tom tom??

It was lowered tooo much lol. It was on the bumbstops on the back soo iirc thats about 100+ (correct me if im wrong)

[budgieboy911]

hahaha some poor guy is going to get a suprise when he finds he needs to put his hands deeeep into his pockets:afro:

[turnip]

thin coats, don't make them to dark, take tom toms advice with the reflector and dont put to much laquer on them, if they are way to shiny you can pulled for that to, good luck

[stoky12]

cheers for all the advice guys

[Chris_F]

id personally buy the smoked rear jewell lights, can find em for bout £30 on ebay,
Look so much better than the tacky sprayed look.

Plus they are "LEGAL" where as sprayin the lights are not.
