GOODBYE Amber Corner Lenses!!!! Gen Uno Edition-NEW PICS ADDED!

The sho got a little blacker yesterday, Since us earlier version shos have no other recourse than this and corner lights are cheap...what the ****. Thanks for the idea KrazyRaven.

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

mine are white now to match the car



did you use night shades or black paint?

 

[marvsho17]

Niteshades.

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

Niteshades.

glad i inspired you

 

[SinisterSHO]

The idiot I bought my beater 91 from spray painted the amber corners green to match the car.

 

[marvsho17]

Is it running yet?

 

[SinisterSHO]

My buddy bought it, he replaced the tensioner and drove it around the block. I guess its running way rich. He's going to get it running alright so he can drive it while he does the eingine swap and stuff in his car.

I'm looking for the opposite effect on my '89... Anyone know of a good way to "fill" the clear portion of a lens to a amber tint? I think amber parking lamps are hot! Then again, the side markers aren't so long on the G1.

 

[New to the SHO]

man, marsho17 that looks soo bad A$$. I have a black 91 and I used night shades on the tail lights but i have never thought to do it on my turn signals... now Im going out to the garage to try it out!!!!

 

[marvsho17]

Thanks, yeah, I'm still iffy on doing the taillights. Maybe this weekend I'll do a light coat and see what happens.

 

[New to the SHO]

They can get pretty dark but the glowing effect at night looks really cool. That opinon may or may not be shared by your local law enforcement tho. What I would do if I were you is go to Your local autoparts store and pick up a set of 6-12 LED brake lights, they are illegal but it evens out in the end because of the tint on your tail lights, that way you will avoid the fuzz....

i did mine w/ 3 coats per light

looks good, and you can still see a hint of red

I did my tails in 3 or 4 coats, then cleared the sh*t out of it... I think it came out okay..

If I could do it again, Id mnask off the reverse lights this time..

yeah i didnt realise until last night how dim mine are now

 

[marvsho17]

I did mine today, I think the driver side is a tad bit lighter than the right. I like it a lot though, claybar'd today and all ready to go. I need to get that muffler up tho.

This is true, but I have also known Nite Shades to fade a bit after about 7 months of use. I have a friend who did his tail lights with a translucent vinyl. It looks TOTALLY awesome. No worries about coats, or drips... I'll posts pics soon.
