Things You'll Need:
- Night shades tinting
- Screwdriver
- Clear coat
- Masking tape
- Light sand paper
-
Step 1
Pop the trunk and raise the trunk lid. Pull the carpet back away from the trunk compartment to expose the back of the rear taillight assemblies. Unplug the light from the wiring harness and turn the light bulb counter clockwise to release it from the light assembly. Use the screwdriver to unbolt the taillight assembly from the trunk and pull the taillight lens straight out of the hole.
-
Step 2
Repeat Step 1 for the other tail light and then lay the lights down on a soft surface. Use the masking tape to tape a circle around the area where the tail light bulb will rest when mounted (do this to avoid being pulled over). Use the sandpaper to lightly buff all around the circular area. This will help the paint stick better. Spray the Nightshades tinting paint on both taped lights.
-
Step 3
Spray 8 to 15 light coats (allowing 30 minutes between coats to dry) of the tinting on the lights and then allow them to dry completely.
-
Step 4
Spray 3 to 5 coats of clear coat on the tinting to keep the paint from scratching. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes between each coat. Wait 24 hours and then pull the tape off.
-
Step 5
Mount the tail lights back into the trunk by reversing Steps 1-2 and then hook the lights and wiring harness back up.
