Tinted Rear Lights

[Ninosins]

Hi guys,

Ik have a dark grey IS200. I bought a bodykit which is being installed this saturday.

Now I want to darken my rearlight cus I don't like the white ones with the dark color of my IS.

I couldn't find this on the site. Could you guys please help me?

If you go into any good car parts store they should keep in stock a special spray to tint your lights. Its aboue £15 for some quality spray, and I used it on a set of BMW lights and it turned out really well.

And you also get to choose how dark you want them to appear. The more the spray, the darker they are and should you get pulled by the old bill, you could even get it removed.

what white rear lights

could allways take them apart and spray the interior

I thought that was what was meant? Perhaps i'm going senile in my old age!!

Is it the exterior lense, or the interior insert you want to paint?

If you know a good lady who wears fine denier stockings you can stretch these over the lenses and nobody need know:)

it is possible

but not easy

nor for the fainthearted

involves cutting the unit in half :o

not reccomended if you are a mechanical menace!!!!!

I do however have a set of standard chrome rear light units in the garage loft if you have a little problem doing it shall we say??!!??!!

Thank you all for replying to this question.

I'll go and check the stores out for the spray. I asked the dealer how much the dark lights costed. They are 240 Euros so I think a spray is cheaper.

I haven't seen after market lights for the IS200

[Kazi]

Spray the exterior, but ensure the lights are clean. You can get a good finish. :P

Some Dufus has kicked my passenger side rear light and was wondering if you still have one for sale and how much, also do you know how easy it is to remove and replace. Thanks

Very easy to change. Open the bonnet and you'll see a couple of 8 or 10mm bolts on each side of the lights. Then gently pull them out.

If you meant the headlights, I thought u had to completely remove the front bumper to get to them??
