Custom OEM LED Tail Lights

Chrome is gaudy to some, good looking to others ;P

 

Be nice if there was a way to turn the chrome color to the black chrome color

 

There is, you use extra reducer when mixing black basecoat. Boom black chrome.

 

So... now that I'm sidetracked.
Does that mean it might even be possible to black chrome my headlight housing instead of the chrome bowl and smoked bezel?

 

sorry for the noobie question but whats a reducer?

 

I actually had to type your question into the Google search box to find your answer, but it worked amazingly well!...

^ Exactly. It basically thins out the paint from being opaque to being translucent.

 

Painter sent me these:

 

Nice.

 

More pictars!!!

 

Those are some awesome tail lights. too bad they would be illegal in AZ.

 

Why? These things are BARELY tinted at all. And there's leds in there. These would be no problem at all. They just look darker because the housing inside is painted black too, which is not needed at all since leds are used... C'mon Andrew show us them bad boys lit up already

I have aftermarket tails that came factory tinted, about the same as these, and the leds inside are crazy crazy bright. Blinding at night when brakes are applied, my friend said, whom followed me one night. And still really bright during the day! What is illegal is the dark black lenses that people do to halogen housings where you can't hardly see the light at all. Leds are the way to go.

 

They're not tinted. Same brightness as stock:

 

What are these pics then? That's what I thought at first but you guys were talking about reducers and whatnot...I was gonna say they weren't tinted but it looks like u lightly tinted them in these pics.. Nvm then. Must have installed the lenses right after painting the inside housing then?

Edit: And looking at the comparison between the left and right, I think it makes it even MORE visible!! Very nice.

 

These are painted edges with full clear. No tinting of the lenses at all.

 

Ah it all makes sense now

 

I didn't notice the painted edges until yo said something. That's pretty smart I like that

 

This may help as well:

 

Daaaaaang, that came out great!
