What did you use to tint your reflector?

 

I did mine today! I love how it looks.

 

Here it is lit up

 

The lights installed...




Like I said, it's very subtle, but different enough to be noticed. Only thing I have to do is find some yellow high beams and turn signal bulbs...

08SWbox: Great write up, looks real good!

 

reviving this post from the dead but didn't want to start a new thread since I know this exists already but I did mine a month or 2 ago when I got some fogs finally (got them used on ebay for $45).




pics kinda suck but its my phone so deal with it lol please ignore the bug guts I commute and bugs apparently love my crimson/purple car.

 

I did mine green then added in custom machined halos with super bright green LEDs. Great attention getter.

 

I'm jealous of RedDragons' eBay find. I want fogs so bad.

This is one of the nicest mods you can do, IMO.

 

heres mine thought i would share. two tone synergy metallic green and black sand pearl with painted graphics and painted simulated carbon fiber... going with my quad bi-xenon retrofit....

 

Those are sick!

 

wtf dj moonbase.... those are cool

 

What did you guys use to reseal the headlights and how did you apply it?
I live in Miami FL and we get a lot of heavy rain in the summer.

 

most of the times we just bake them shut again in the oven, i do 240 degree at 7 minutes.

my process is push the two halves together as much as possible. then put in oven and bake for 7 min, take them out and push them all the way back together, then ill throw it in the oven again for about 3 minutes to let the adhesive settle. that USUALLY works but if you want to be absolutely sure they are completely sealed... get this stuff it works awesome and its what i use:

Don't let this foo pull one over on ya, he is a well trained competitor! Jam master J has mad skills in paint and car modding... you should see his ride in person...

Anyways... with the harassing out of the way... he knows his stuff and I personally would put a lot of value into his advice... plus he's a good cat as well.

 

thanks bro!!! i do my best. as long as you do your best and your proud of your work thats what matters. im just happy i can share my input with the rest of you scionites!!!!!

 

can i use regular black spraypaint or does it need to be special paint to hold up to the heat?

 

You can use regular spray paint but you might want to look at using translucent paints instead, it lets the chrome show through for a candied look. I used a translucent purple last time I did mine, got it at the hobby store.

 

Sweet, thanks for the help. Ill be doing mine as soon as i get my intake in the mail
