Default Stock Tail Light Job

I saw some of the sweet L.E.D after market lights and laughed at the prices that would cut into my fund so here we go.

1. I picked up a can of this head light tint from auto zone for like $9



I didnt take pics of the next part because i was not sure how this was gonna turn out.

2. Take out the 4 screws that hold the tail light on there is only one little quick disconect that wires up your lamps take that off and your whole taillight will come off.

3. Tape off the reverse light square with painters tape and the side walls of the lamp housing.

4. Spray the whole thing let it set for about 15min as the instructions say.

I had this whole thing Buttoned up in about 40min. This is how it turned out.

Turned Off



Normal



Lit
