Smoked Tail Lights anyone? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris_PR · 08-26-2006, 10:17 AM

That's right, those block are the reflectors, but they are cover too. That's the effect of the camera flash. When you cover your lights with that film the reflectors and the lights still working very bright. I'am going to take the night pictures today and post it tomorrow. Sorry I'am out of my town. Next monday I'am going to call the guy that make me the work and ask him where did he buy the tint film. Ohhh ,I paid $15.00 each tail light, tint and work. I'ts not really easy to work with that film. It took him about 15 minutes each one and he works on window tint every day. Hey Chris I saw a white Yaris here in PR with with tint on headlights and tailights and it's looks really great...

This one is from cardomain.com, but the guy is from PR.

YES! Looks awesome! You can get film for the headlights from headlightarmor.com, and they are supposedly coming out with film for the tail lights too as soon as they can find a car to work with. 65 bucks for the sedan, 70 for the liftback.

you know what i think im just gonna tint the red areas.....leave the reverse lights untinted. I might get away with it when the cops pull me over...LOL!

Yaris_PR · 08-26-2006, 09:51 PM

Night pictures without and with brakes lights on. Not the best pictures but give you an idea.

hasher22 · 08-26-2006, 10:32 PM

very nice........good to see the lights came through....lol

btw. what film/tint did u use??? i have niteshades spray.....im testing it out on bottles 1st to see if it works like a charm.....

hasher22 · 08-26-2006, 11:27 PM

Smoked Glass bottle anyone? I was tryin out the niteshade paint and i notice that its a really really really dark maroon colour not black transparent.

Errr do i really have to remove the taillights and spray em? cant i just spray em while they are still on the car?...

Yaris_PR · 08-27-2006, 12:23 AM

I think is better to remove them. I think I saw here a "How to" about remove tail lights. Maybe Chris can show you. But in my opinion, yes , is too dark, don't take the risk to loose your tail lights.

*Chris07LB* · 08-27-2006, 08:08 AM

REMOVE THEM!

Inside the hatch, there are two small side vent looking pannels on each side, remove them.

You will now see the back of the tail lights.. this is how you would change the bulbs when needed.

Take a 10mm socket or box wrench, and remove the TWO nuts. Easy.

Take a tug back on the tail light, and it will slip right out. Disconnect plug, and its completely removed.

casterqc · 08-27-2006, 03:41 PM

By the way nice car Yaris_PR...looks good with the wheels and smoked tails.

15$ each tail light is a good price...I would'nt pay 70$ for films without installation. I paid 150$ to get all my windows tinted on my hatch...so i'll try to call the same guy tommorow to see how much he would charge me for smoking the tails

Yaris_PR · 08-27-2006, 10:34 PM

Thank you casterqc and good lock with the tint guy. I hope he can do the job. BTW where can I find the rear spoiler that you have in your Yaris. Here in PR Yaris don't have those. Where and price? That my next modification...

Actually I called him today, he can't do it because he does'nt buy the kind of film that goes on lights. I'll try to find another place...if someone has an idea of one near Montreal tell me.

The spoiler is 372$ can, I got it from the dealer when I bought the car...they had to order it from Ontario.

Yaris_PR · 08-28-2006, 08:51 PM

Thanks for the info casterqc, but anyone now where in USA or in what web page can I find that rear spoiler?

TrancosRt · 08-28-2006, 10:39 PM

Yaris PR, check eBay or
http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/defa...681d76cf9910de
Can't vouch for these guys since I never did bussiness with them. (They have the spoilers for several colors but mine for 138.06)

casterqc · 09-06-2006, 04:12 PM

Since I can't find any place where I can buy smoked film for taillights here, I've decided to contact Lamin-x.

The guy at Lamin-x, Chris, gave me good info on how to take the measurements. With these measurements he will then provide me with the best quote possible for an uncut/Bulk film that will fit correctly.

Here's a link where you can see a gallery of their products installed: http://www.lamin-x.com/showcase.php

What do you think I should go for?? Smoke or Charcoal (darker) ??

hasher22 · 09-06-2006, 05:28 PM

Hmmmm u willing to spend how many $$ of film when u can get the smoked spray can and some gloss paint for like $25.........thats what i did.....
+ there is no waiting of the right cut of film for the yaris...

im really happy with my outcome.....

casterqc · 09-06-2006, 06:45 PM

Well I would prefer the film because it can easily be removed.

At Lamin-x, Chris there can sell me two 20" x 15" sheets for $54.95 (normally $64.95) plus $6.95 for shipping.

I'll see what I'll do...I'm still looking at all the options avaible...then I'll decide.
