Just looking to see some pics of tinted LED tail lights. I'm trying to determine whether I want tint and if so, to what degree. I would really like to compare the untinted vs a stage 1 and a stage 2.

Thanks

I have some tinted LED's that will be delivered today from JW Motoring. They're out for delivery and I'm looking forward to seeing them and putting them on.

I did two coats of nightsades and 3-4 coats clear with wetsanding and buffing them out.

I did mine myself with VHT NightShades paint. 2 coats plus 3 coats of Krylon Crystal Clear.

Just as a warning, once they're done, it's difficult if not impossible to go back. I don't think you could get all the paint off.

That's why I'm trying to get a good grip on what will suit my needs ahead of time. I just want to do it right the first time.

steps
1. wetsand lights with 2000grit wet/dry, clean lights well let dry.
2. spray 2-3 light coats nightshades letting dry 5-10min in between coats.
3. after allowing time to fully dry wetsand again 2000 grit. I also use maguires ultimate compound at this step after the wet sand. Clean well let dry.
4. 2-4 coats clear coat i used duplicolor perfect match clear. also let dry 5-10min between coats.
5. after totally dry next day wetsand 2000 grit and buff out with the ultimate compound again.

Do a test run on your stock lights or get a set of lights cheap and practice first!

Here's s pic of mine BEFORE the clear coat went on. You might also notice I did the back-up lights with a couple coats.

I won't be doing the tinting myself. Once I decide on how much tint I want, I will be ordering them from a forum vendor who will do it for me.

JW has some pics of all the stages next to eachother you may wanna pm him. Or he will probably pop in this thread.

i just got an email from JW telling me that the halo modding is completed and they will be tinted starting today. i went with the high gloss, lightly tinted "selection" as i didn't want them to completely disappear during the day except when they were on. check out his website he as a variety of photos (and i think a video) that should halp you. i can't wait to get them and put them on. i'm sure they will be a great change from my regular bulb tinted lenses now.

I went with Corvette Central's tinted lights & back up lights ( they look great)
