jtmny1999 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So I smoked my lights today, what you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 So I smoked my lights today So what did they taste like? Seriously though looks good. I don't like smoked taillights on just any car, but looks good on yours. With that carbon fibre wing, I think the carbon fibre tail light panel would look good together.

tfreer85 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I like a lot! How did you do it? Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 My left hand tail light often looks like it is smoked due to the exhaust fumes. I always prefer the look of the right one because it looks a lot brighter. But on your colour scheme with the flat black light surrounds and the black top half, the lights look really good. Congratulations. How do they look like with the lights on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think they look amazing, just like your paint job. I'm hoping my attempt at a home-brew paint job comes out that well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmaster Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 how did you smoke your taillights, and where did you get that taillight panel????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CArFAn Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have seen cans of "smoke spray" for headlights and tailights. Might be able to get a can on ebay. Found it: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=smoke+spray&category0= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Here is how you smoke the lights. 1. Sand the lights down with 1k grid sand paper. 2. Buy black paint and use reducer to make the black paint as light as you want. 3. Clear over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 where did you get that taillight panel????? Its stock painted flat black with a spray can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Looks great with your paint job. I'd like to see a shot of them lit up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnoutZ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ive always wanted to do this... finally i get to see pics of it on a car. I guess im not alone. It looks pretty good man, keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 D.O.T. requires red reflectors on the rear of all cars, any cop in the country can pull you over and ticket you, and quite possibly have your car towed away. What looks neat is not alway legal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What looks neat is not alway legal!! It does reflect when light hits it and I know its not legal but pretty much everyone now has smoked lights.

260zturbo Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 the way we do it is we get clear and dip a stirring stick in black paint then place it in the clear. keep doing that till u get the darkness want. but sanding your lights with 1k and wax/grease them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If I smoked my tail-lights, I'd get some bright LED bulbs. Do they even make any that disperse light correctly like incandescents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Awww that looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Usually I hate smoked lights. I think it destroys the look of any car, but wow man you really pulled it off. It would look super nice if it had the original chrome around the tail lights and in the middle of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmaster Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 that looks really awesome. I think i am starting to consider doing this to my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 They still look nice and bright lit up; good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
