The Smoked/Tinted/Painted lights thread - Toyota Yaris Forums

tuckevalastin · 10-22-2008, 02:26 PM

Alot of the many threads showing people's smoke/tint/paint jobs on their head and tail lights were lost along with the product information that was in those threads.... so for those of us who may be looking into one of these options please give us the product and results you used on your lights.... PICS and COMMENTS very much welcomed

those looks awesome.

I'd do it but i'm afraid of moisture in there eventually

bdc87 · 10-22-2008, 04:39 PM

Thanks,
I actually got moister in there, took them off, blow dryer then went around the edge with black form a gasket and no moister yet.

Stargate YARlantIS · 10-22-2008, 09:59 PM

did everyone take them off (heads and tails) prior to painting? or just tape up nicely? lol

Yarice · 10-22-2008, 10:43 PM

Man, how do u knock those ugly orange reflector off the headlights, I like how bdc87 did his.

DMart · 10-22-2008, 10:46 PM

yes, take them off!!! lol

to yarice: you have to crack open the headlight to get the reflector out, basically shove them in the oven and pry

Yarice · 10-22-2008, 11:05 PM

Will the head light seal be the same or do u have to add lil extra when putting them back together.
