  • Tail Lights

    Im really wanting to find a set of the Euro/Export tails for my '95 Formula. If you have a set your willing to part with let me know how much! If you have a set of regular tails sitting around Im interested in those as well, so I can make a set of clears.


    Thanks in advance.

          Wow I'd never thought of using window tint on tailights. Good Call.

            used it on my fog lights. works great. but you really gotta be careful, there are laws against it to a point. u have to be able to see them from a certain distance. it's different for headlights or tail lights

              You could go for the look I have. . . Here are some pics, all I did was a couple of coats of VHT NightShade and wetsanded them. . .


              Light shines through just fine, never been hassled by anyone about it. Oh, the top pic is just with the parking lights on, not the brakes. It's a LOT brighter than that when the brakes are applied. . .

                  I did mine at the same time as Nick and I went a little lighter on the VHT. I wanted them to not attract attention from Po Pos but I did want them to be slightly darker. Let me see if I have pics...

                  Here you go. I did mine a little differently...

                  After VHT but before sanding and buffing...

                    I'mm keeping mine stock because always been afriad of being rear ended at night and the person claiming they could not see my tail light. Some of the tailighs are so dark there isn't a dramatic difference between running lights and brake lights. I would be rare for this to happen but I would rather avoid the chance of an accident and or chance of a ticket.

                    Some aftermarket lights are not DOT approved.

                      Yeah thats why I went a little lighter on the VHT. I thinkI actually gave nick like 1/3 the can after I finished my tails.
