should i black out head/tail lights? Options

[SwissFerdi]

^ Nite-Shades is NOT be removable once sprayed...so I wouldn't recommend using it to tint your headlights.

[JustinCapps]

false, niteshade or any other spray IS removable, just use lacquer thinner.

[SwissFerdi]

You're right...I was thinking in terms of plastic, it's probably not removable from tails.

[IBTINTN]

"so would you prefer this over the niteshade or the film you have"

It would depend on the application. headlights are usally smooth and there is little problems with peeling and such. Some taillights are not always as smooth and have some sharp curves and the film tends to peel on some cars. As for our cars I would perfer the film on the headlights, but I would probably use the spray for my tail lights. I will be spraying my taillights, singal lights and side markers, I will post some pics when there are done.

their's this guy on the forum who i think lives in Calgary Canada and owns a yellow celica... ask him; he tinted his JDM tails... but personnally i think i came out ugly.

[97toyotacelicagt]

why not just tint the high beams??? like this?

Like the highs, but where can I get my hands on those covers for the lows?

where can i find these covers for the lows? ive been looking everywhere

[Spider77]

I asked the same question...no one answered

[97toyotacelicagt]

i saw something on andys auto sport but they dont look like them and plus i dont like andys auto sport there service sucks

[Spider77]

andys auto sprot are the "Gts" covers...and i read on the parts database they kinda suck

[Tech-Nics]

^^^ Good luck trying to find the low beam covers for the 6th gen. They are very very almost impossible to find. They were options with the HIRO package that was offered in Japan specs. Ive never seen them for sale on Ebay before or seen any body on any forum trying to sell them. Even online used JDM parts stores never have them either.

[Spider77]

I checked the hiro site, but couldnt find them either. Looks like one of those things that will have to be fab'd.

[97toyotacelicagt]

maybe vincent can make some! he makes alot of stuff i be done for the buy

[97toyotacelicagt]

[SwissFerdi]

Pretty sure he's making clear headlight lens replacements, not covers.

Hey New Orleans, I took a pic of my girls tail lights for you. I cant seem to find a pic of the lighter shade. Let me know what you think.

[IBTINTN]

Here are the foglights

Before

After light smoked film

Like the highs, but where can I get my hands on those covers for the lows?

you dont need covers just windex a credit card, tint vynyl and and a blower(heat gun), on youtube you can find some videos demostrating how to do that

[Spider77]

Yeah, but the lows dont have any film on them. They have some sort of polycarbonate cover that kind of encloses them.

[SinisterSinner]

hey thats an AWESOME idea!, polycarbonate light covers tinted, that way you can put them on on shows car shows and take them off on the road to prevent getting a ticket, and they wont crack because its polycrbonate not plexii, I think i've just found a new job lol, I can manufacture that, and sell different color of covers at an anfordable price, that way we can all make our celicas better looking that would help to motivate people to buy celicas and make a bigger community...and celica only carshows!, AWESOME! thanks spider77 but I cant start messing with my projects just yet I need to buy some cabinets and stuff like that, also materials, and more tools.I already have a little but good spot to manufacture these things
