Hey guys, I have stock tail lights from my 94 civic hatch and i'm trying to think of a way to give them that "smoked" look. (example of what i want)


Any ideas of how i could remove the stock paint on the lights and give them that smoked look? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Just buy them like that. I don't think you can remove the orange and red parts of the lenses.

I used window tint, It looks great for a long time, and if you get tired of the look you can always take it off.

^^you might wanna black out your plates if its your car. Is there any tint on the red or is it just on the white?

they dont make those jdm tail lights smoked for eg6's. i looked, and even called a huge ebay vendor that sold nothing but tail lights and said they dont make those for hatchies.

ur best bet is to use that vht night shade like what polything said, or tint them using window tint. i was going to shade my entire tail lights this week end, but got lazy, so ill do it next week.

I don't have any pictures, but they make good stuff. I got the darkest they had and it matches my black car really well. Yet the light still shines through.

You cannot. It's the color of the plastic. If you want red and clear tails to start with, you need to buy them on eBay and, if you're buying tails on eBay anyhow, you might as well just get red/smoked ones

I used something similar "Racing Finish" Window tint I wish I could tell you where to get some but I got it from my cousin!!



I did 2 coats but u can still see the turnsignal and reverse lights in the day!!

Did a set on my CRX back in the day. That one pic looks real dark cause it was kinda dark with a crappy camera. But during the day they look like they had a VERY light tint. I also dumped a assload on clear cost and then wet sanded them. Added a ton of depth to them
