Tomorrow morning I'm headed over to Randy's (Randode's) house for a tail light painting/tinting party...I'm also going to do the same thing with the mirror turn signals...The work is being done by Just1n of Precision Werks, the same one who has done all my other paint work...Here is the before pics of the items removed: I will post more when I put them back on after they are finished...

 

i vent shaded my tails on the old D... i gotta do the same to the new D... they just look better that way

 

ahh nice...been wanting to do this too since there are no other options for taillights. i wish they came out with tails resembling the mazda 3's:

 

Finally some pics of my smoked and painted tails...Just1n of Precision Werks lightly hit them with Hot Lava after smoking them...Randy (Randode) also swapped out the turn signal mirror bulbs to LED's, thanks...Sorry for the dirty car, we had a butt load of rain recently and have not had a chance to clean it...Thanks again Just1n for doing this for everyone...Here are the pics, its hard to capture the coloring:

 

not the biggest fan of the hot lava overspray, but im pretty sure its because the pictures dont do the work nearly enough justice.

 

Nice!! I would love to see some outdoor pics in sunlight!

 

Looks sweet. I'd like to do that to my black sand pearl lights. I switched out my turn signal LEDs to white from orange and I'm trying to get rid of the orange turn signals in the front. Pretty hard to do since it's made into the light.

 

our side mirror turn signals are already LED's..... what exactly did he swap?

 

maybe u can break the reflector off like the first gen xb or you can just buy the jdm heads that dont have the reflector : )

 

He put in white LED's...

 

no problem dude. Thats what i do.

 

Ah, ok

 

Links?

 

Bake open your headlights, the sidemarkers pull out of the headlight when the casing is not on



Loving the tint, yelosub

 

^^^Thanks^^^

 

Looks beautiful. How about some shots in the sunlight?

 

Ok so I finally got around to cleaning the car the other day...So today, I went over to Randy's house and we color sanded with 1500 grit sandpaper then hit it with a compound and buffer...After we got it smooth as a babies bottom, I put a coat of wax on them and snapped some outside pics...We did not do the turn signals yet, may do them at a later date...Here are the pics:















Headlights Turned On:

 

looks siick!

 

I take this back with the arrival of the new photos. looks way cleaner in the light without the flash pulling too much of the lava back

 

exactly how do you 'bake' open your headlights? lol. or did you mean "break" them open? if so, its not an actual break correct? bc i dont like the orange turn signal in the headlight as well.
