Ok, did some VHT and clear coating on Sunday. Turned out good IMO. I wish the reverse lenses were a nip lighter, but its cool. The pics make them look slightly darker then they do in person, but here they are.

They turned out great Steve.
Looks Good to me....
I like!!!!!!! I want to darken mine up
Nice how many coats?
They turned out sick! Now come do mine and I will take you for a ride in the only cammed VVT titan in the world, lol...
nice steve!!! i wouldn't go darker cuz you can't see when you're in reverse. lol
Well, my reverse lense is the only part that could be a little lighter IMO, but, I still get plenty of light reversing. I would say that it was about 4 coats of VHT and 3 coats of clear. The 3rd brake light is only 1 coat of VHT and no clear, but I am still going to touch it up. Thanks guys!
Looks good man. I really like tinted taillights on the T now. What other plans do you have?
turned out sweet
looks great!
Probably remove the chrome "U" from the tailgate and the Nismo sticker. Then I need to rder the front adjustable struts from Belltech so I can lower it. Maybe paint the wheels darker. My performance parts will be on this weekend. Then some shorter tires for the OEM 20's. Oh and some black headlight housingQuote:

its easy man. I wet sanded them in the sink and 1000 is so thin it feels like your just rubbing them with a paper towel LOL
nice work steve.. looks really good..
i put a few coats of wax and buffed mine out when i was done.. and every time i wax, i put a thin coat on them
Thanks man, yeah thats a great idea actually. I finally got to see them in ful daylight yesterday I think. Got home from work early and the sun was hitting them. looks awesome, in the sun light, you can see through it and see a dark amber fro the light. Its very translucent. Looks almost black at night and dark amber/maroon in daytime. I think it is my favorite visual mod I have done so far.
Hey 08Blizzard, what headlights are those? OEM with headlight mod or did oyu buy them? I am wanting to buy some that look like that, looks like they are going to run about $160
they are the oem with headlight mod. i shipped them to simply and he painted them. they would look kill on your truck man!!Quote:

Headlight mod.... Do it Steve!
I'm either going to do that or buy them ones that are already like that. I'm def getting the black headlights (housing) one way or the other
You are so going to have to help me do this to mine. When we swap out the chrome pieces...
Actually.....I think I might keep my chrome pieces LOL. Some people have talked me into liking them again LOL...Well maybe just the handles and mirror caps, we will see though. I will help you do yours, its super easy
That works maybe we can just paint my stock pieces to look better...LOL i hate nissan plasticQuote:

So I ended up returning the LEDs and got some old fashioned bulbs instead.Quote:

Old thread but worth complimenting. I like the style, didn't know you could paint tail lights. This particular look goes well with the clean white rig. Nice.
They look great! I am planning to do that to my truck's headlights.
To be honest it looked nice, but be careful for some states are prohibiting such alteration.
