cleared out lights
Re: cleared out lights (lilredhatchie374)
I'm not a big fan of clear taillights, but here's some instructions for you:
Parts needed:
Clear Plexi Glass
Office lighting cover
Silicone Glue
Tools:
Clamps
Dremel tool
Screwdriver
1. Take off your lights and get rid of the red lenses, break them off carefully, hammer it or dremel it, but don't damage anything except for the lense.
2. Discard the plastice pieces and put the light assembly in a dust free box. Spray with the most reflective **** you can get, like high temp mirror chrome.
3. Buy the stuff that covers the lights at the office, those long lights. This is that platstic thing with a nylon ultra fine checker board effect. It's not necessary to have, but most clear taillights have them.
4. The plexiglass can be put in the oven at 250 degrees F for around 12-15 minutes in this time, the plexiglass becomes soft and you will be able to bend. Using clamps to hold it in you can actually mold the plexiglass to the shape of the taillights.
5. Make it cover the parts where the glue can show, so it looks clean. You know the parts where the blue will touch the light housing when you clamp them shut for 24 hours.
6. You can stop here, or you can add the office lighting **** on.
7. Glue the office **** on with some kind of glue, you can also skip that and leave them smooth and buy the red tail light film from a graphics place to make the upper or lower red, or you can buy candy apple red paint and paint them how you want so the cops don't pull your ricer *** over.
8. Clean all parts with alcohol and dry , then glue with silicone glue and clamp again for 24 hours or so. Instead of using red bulbs, you can use a transparent red plastic and place it inside so that the light comes out red.
9. You can also paint the edges black to cover up the glue, but it's not necessary since silicone glue dries clear.
10. Get some vinyl graphics and some APC stickers, perhaps an aluminum wing as well, then roll out to the local pep boys and watch as those other super street edition cars admire yours.
