Just a quick question i cant find the answer to. If I wanted to smoke or get overlays for my side markers, would i have to buy clear corners first or could I just smoke the amber ones. Would it look funny?

Thanks for the help in advance

 

You can buy bat's overlays (3/10 or 6/10) for your amber corners. Doesn't look good IMO. Just go with clears if that's the look you're going for.

 

you can try that nightshade spray thing, Having a clear color underneath will prob help lol.

Depends how much you spray it with I guess.

 

there should be a few guys that done it already... i wouldnt... i rather buy black lenses...

 

i had mine smoked out when i did my taillights so everything is blacked out compared to a black housing and clear lens. i like how it looks. still has a amber shine to it when the lights are on.

there ya go...

 

^ yeah spray it , best way for a clean look

 

wow...doesnt look bad. I think i might just do that. thanks for all the info guys...so guessing i need to sand before i spray?

 

^ that'd be ur best bet to minimize grit sticking on once u paint

my philosophy is always sand before u paint if u want it to come out nice u dont have to just prepping it makes it look nicer

 

Sand with 800 grit sand paper then paint then 1 coat of clear then wetsand with 2000grit sandpaper then a couple more coats of clear and then wax to a nice shine

 

Looks....GREAT! Will the bulb show thru even with a light coat of paint?

^ thats wat i was wondering, itd be pointless if it was just a black peice of plastic

 

HE said it shines amber

 

these pix are obviously during the day. i had my buddy at a paint shop spray them so they aren't rattle can'd. they are perfectly noticeable during the nite tho. i like the look.

 

I bought a set off ebay that were clear corners, but the backside plastic housing was completely black. So they appeared black when the light was off. It actually looked pretty black. But when the light was on, because it was a clear lens, the light lit up brightly. I had an amber bulb so it light up amber.

Unfortunately they leak, so the stock ones are back on until i get around to sealing them up and trying it again.
