Thumbs up My 10-12 Taillight Mod....Reverse Lights Blacked OUT !

Here's my finished project ! Check it out !
I sprayed the reverse lights with about 8-10 coats of VHT Nite Shades spray tint.


Reverse lights in the dark. They're actually a good bit darker than the pic. I would recommend not going over (6) coats to keep the reverse lights a bit more visible.

Hell, I don't think they work worth a crap to begin with. This looks good to me!

Nice! I've been wanting to see this done. I'm not a fan of those bezels though the ones from AM look a lot better.

Thanks for the post

I have wanted to see pics on doing this. Looks good.

Recently I reviewed another post where they used the VHT paint around the outer edges. Just finished doing this and it turned out good.

Nice Mod.

Reverse lights in the dark. They're actually a good bit darker than the pic. I would recommend not going over (6) coats to keep the reverse lights a bit more visible.

[/QUOTE]Thanks man.

I don't remember where I bought them. They are available from a variety of sources though.

I would definately not spray the reverse lights over 5-6 coats. They obviously must be able to be seen by other drivers.

This is precisely why I will never, ever tint/black out the taillights themselves. That is totally idiotic IMHO. People that do this must totally trust drivers behind them ! Me ? Oh hell no !
