TOOLS/NOTES. |
STEP 1. |
Tools:
- Testors 2949 transparent black window tint
spray paint
NOTE: The instructions don't say anything
about putting on a clearcoat. So I didn't. Well,
they held up pretty good all winter (did this
back in November of 2000). Well this summer
(2001) I started using a new Turtlewax Bug and
Tar remover, and I noticed that it must contain
some kind of alcohol, because it started to take
off my tint off the lights. I'm going to have to
redo my lights, and give them a clearcoat this
time around.

Push in the front
side, and slide towards front of car. |
|
STEP 2. |
STEP 3. |
Pop out rear edge
of light and pull it all out. |
Just grab that
black rubber piece and pull. It will come off,
you just have to pull a little hard.. No biggie. |
|
REMOVE THE SIDE MARKER. |
STEP 4 - PAINT. |
I'm still not
clear on which side is best to push in with. I
just used my old credit card to do it, and it
was a bitch! but I finally got them both out. It
would have been real easy to get them out if I
wasn't so worried about not getting any
scratches on the paint. |
I just used
some old shoe boxes to set the lights into so I
only sprayed the front.
Spray light coat, not to dark, just light enough
to add a tint to them. |
|
STEP 5. |
FINISHED PRODUCT. |
Popping them back
in was a hell of a lot easier... Can you tell it
took a while? It's dark already. |
Voila! finished
product. |
|
LIGHTS AT NIGHT. |
LIGHTS OFF - DAYLIGHT. |
This is them both
lit up at night.. Yeah, I know my rims are
filthy. |
This is them both
during the day turned off. |
|
FULL VIEW. |
LIGHTS ON - DAYLIGHT. |
This is the car,
the whole car and nothing but the car. |
And both of them
lit up during the day. I'm thinking that I might
have made the side marker a bit too dark... but
such is life. |
