Light Tint
I just went out and bought a bottle of nite shades. And intend to tint my new fog light covers, tail lights and 3rd brake light.
Has anyone had any problems with there tinted tail lights? I hear there kind of illegal. BUt hope its one of thouse things where no one cares, like speeding. Does anyone have pics with there lights on. I want to be sure that not too much light is tinted off. |

Does anyone have pics with there lights on. I want to be sure that not too much light is tinted off. I did mine w/just some black spray paint and clear coat. https://www.mazda3club.com/photo-video-gallery-29/%2A%2A%2Anew-pics%2A%2A%2A-my-mad-tizite-rizzide-40008/ https://www.mazda3club.com/3rd-gen-protege-mazdaspeed-p5-mp3-26/no-more-amber-my-car-40143/ So, Headlights/Tails/Sidemarkers/Bumper lights all smoked. The great thing about the tails...they ended up having a nice ghost red effect to them...tinted, but when the light hits...the red stands out...looks sharp. |
Do the cops harrass you at all for it. Were any of thouse pics with the brakes on.
I did my fog light covers today. Looks awsome but I keep getting the watery effect when I spay them. Any tips. |
You can see the lights just fine...when you press the brake pedal...they light up perfectly!

Did you spray them outside while it's hot out, and brought the can out from a nice cool air conditioned house ?? If so there's your problem...the temp change will cause it to spray funny....... I did my stockers with no problems...just spray nice even thin coats....too little can be fixed...too much presents a problem :nod: |
I think the can was no good. It was not a uniform spray at all.
I painted them and they got bubbles it was just no good so I scraped all the stuff off. Then did 3 light coats, when that was all crappy I went back and did 2 thick ones to make everything smooth as glass. Looks good but too dark to be used on the fogs. Nite shades seems to leave a purple tint, so im gonna have to check out some other optinons. It looked like a nice gray after the first couple just it wasent dark enough. When it was all done it was a terrible purple. |
