Re: Smoking tail lights

[Gti99guy@aol.com]

I did the taillights on my 91 Jetta, and i just made sure to clean them REAL 
well before spraying the tint on. Sanding them would make them look rough, i 
think. I just used the Testors model paint stuff and Testors clearcoat. 
Pretty cheap (about $8), and it seemed to last. I guess the NightShades stuff 
from VHT works better though.

Anyway, I wouldnt worry about it blocking any light, since you should only 
tint the ugly orange turn signal part and maybe your reverse light. I left 
the red (brake & parking light) alone.

The tinted front turn signals actually look real nice at night when tinted. 
Instead of the whole thing lighting up, only a small dot is visible. Looks 
great, IMHO.

Dont waste your money on the real tinted lights, theyre hard to find for the 
Jetta and cost about $250. The front smoked turn signals are about $85, still 
way too much.
