Ok guys the tint you will want to use is vinal tint, not regular window tint. The vinal tint is good for the exterior of the car.

You can get a 12 inch by 12 inch roll of tint on ebay for $4.99 with free shipping! Click here

I did my fog lights yellow and as you can see I am going to tint the center taillights, I think I need to make it a lot darker.....

Before







Cut to size..

Spray soapy water on tail light..

Unrap tint. Make sure you dont get any lint on it!

Put on even..

Cut off extra tint... But make sure you leave some extra so you can wrap it around the back

Use your hair dryer and start drying one end and work your way around taking all bubbles out.



If you are doing trunk lid taillights from a 98 to 05 Gs300 take off this weather stripping... I left it on and it looked likr crap when I put the finished product on...





I am not to happy with the shade of tint I got I want it 10 times blacker!! Its cool it was only $5!

Let me know what you think about my first thread!

 

Looks very nice! Way to start off your first thread with a bang! Keep up the good work

 

you should have tinted it red.

 

tint came out nice!

 

or left it alone they looked good. love that blue with that red combo.

good job on this though OP def shows people how to get it done

funny u been on here since 2007 and this is your second post. so was this car black guessing from the actual first thread or did u have a different gs?

Thanks guys!! I want mine to be black like Lolthxkbye.. How did you get yours so black?

 

Yea I had my car black before. Yea I did not have too much pride in my old scratched up black lexus. Now I got new paint and shoes and I love it!!!

 

they were a set i painted black they did not work at all (bulbless). lol.

 

Doesn't look too bad, but I think you should have made it a deeper red.

Deep red looks bad *** on any color.

Black tinted tails are too common.

 

Not bad at all Its nice because some of the imperfections are hidden

 

i would've wanted to see the darker red as well. i'm not really into black tinted tails.

on your first thread though.

 

Looks real nice...nice DIY

 

if you want the tint darker just throw on another layer of that stuff

but great looking car

 

Yea I keep going out side and I really dont like the tint I did on the trunk... I might just shave the trunk lights.... Or I might just put some non tinted one's back on. I dont know why I have 3 sets of taillights right now!

Also I NEED COILOVERS!!!!

 

Looks good. Just FYI the tint usually on Ebay is a very thin tint usually like 3 mm and this does nothing to protect at all. The other stuff that cost lots more will take a 1" rock at 100 mph and not hurt anything. It is around 18-22mm. Just fyi and hey the car looks good!
