took the lights out of the cover, cleaned them up really really well with wax and grease remover, did it a few times to make sure there was no crap at all on them

them just got the VHT nightshades and did light coats till i was happy with the darkness i wanted.

i also did my side indicators and front ones too

very nice, where can one find this night shade stuff? what is it exactly?

[Wacky Dee]

it's a spray on tint ..comes in aerosol can. From what I've read about it before the stuff looks pretty 'matte' black but looking at the photo above it's very shiny so there you go.

Hey Cara what's your suspension height (centre of wheel to wheel arch) front and back ?

[Vik]

Cara i gotta' admit .. looks nice.

extend it to 14 again - is it longer than a foot? or is it around 6"? I doub't you've got wheels on a 34 that on only just bigger than wheels of a mini so it'd be inches.

[MissR34]

yeah it is inches

[Isola]

I thought girls were supposed to know how long 14 inches was... isn't it in the genetics somewhere?

[Wacky Dee]

I'm happy if they don't know the diff between inches and cms..

Recieved them this week, installed last night on my mates R34.

Check it out ..

ummm... where's the reflector?

no reflector = defect time.

[Wacky Dee]

looks shit imo, stock ftw ...oh and yeah, if that's a daily your mate will be lucky if the first cop that sees him doesn't issue a defect

[MissR34]

well spotted......

and those tail lights dont show much actual light when they are on.....i might have to take a pic of mine tonight and see how much light comes thru......but i think its alot more than that

[Sheng]

wonder it will go well with purple ..

tinting lights (both front and rear) has always puzzled me. while it may look cool (to some people) during the day, at night you are reducing your visibility (more chance of someone running up your arse if they are tinted too dark and when the brakes are on only look as bright as normal lights) and with the headlights you are reducing how bright your lights are. i hate driving cars with dull headlights.

now you might think that i should shut my mouth if i have nothing to say, but in fact i was making a point that tinting your lights makes your chances of having an accident higher, and also increases your chance of having your insurance company refuse to pay after said accident because of illegal modifications to lights, and could even possibly have you blamed for the accident if a car runs into the back of you (where as normally it is the person following who is at fault).

[MissR34]

ive got a lot more light coming thru my tail lights.....
