Thumbs up wowo...smoke tail light and signal light

done with my set. Very easy to do. I used 2 VHT Night Shade. The signal light react if spray direct so i have to do the mist way. Take longer but it works.







Total cost: $23

don't bother with the overlay. THey look very dull. I bought from Bat and just took it off and spray. You will love the spray method better.

VERY EASY to do. I would say in about 1-2 hours.

Nice. Too bad i'm going for the cleared out look ><. I think im gonna get the JDM clear lights, adn smoke out the clear part from the inside so the edges are a little darker. Itll look like smoked out altima lights on the SER or smoked out sentra lights on the Se-R sentra..

They will look good on any color. You can control the darkness of the spray. I went for the darkness. About 4 or 5 layers. If you just want a little, about 2-3 layers will do.

looks good.

i used the spray method on my celica. after 2 years of daily driving and washing, they had small scuff marks in them. almost like a scratched clear coat look. thats why i went with the overlays. they are a bit dull, but a quick wipe of tire grease and they're good to go.

i didnt get my overlays from bat though. some nissan dealership on here was selling them, i forget who though.

i did. Very easy. Just need 2 people. One to hold on each side so you don't drop your bumper. I took the front/rear/door panel out and put it back. It is easier than i thought. Just do it man.

one word of advice: When you sand down, use 400 then 1000 then 1500 grid. It takes time. (few hours) Be patient
