wassup zilvia, i was curious, i got some chrome LED s14 kouki style
tail lights for cheap. i really dont like the chrome.. i was wondering if anyone
knew who can paint the inside black, or how can i do it myself.
it seems as the clear lense is glued onto the led/chrome inside.
im jus not tryin to end up breaking them lol..

you usually bake them for about 15min in the oven to tear them apart

That link maybe only for the trunk but the whole set can be had. Look around on the interwebs. I'd personally sell the chrome one and buy the black ones since a) they make black ones and b) why risk fucking up a good set of tails?

Do what you want rather than asking for opinions. If you want the truth, that shits ugly and stupid.

/end thread and move on.

Its true bake them and then the epoxy will loosen up for you. It will probably not be hard to peel apart the lens from the rest of the assembly use a screwdriver or something. Or buy the ones you want and save yourself the work

if you want to pry them open, use a heat gun, and pry from the inside channel of the lens. be careful not to crack the edge of the lens.

if you want to tint the lenses, use oracal transparent vinyl, do not spray them.

The point is i searched what you asked and I got results, which means theres was no reason to start a new thread for this simple question.

Small questions thread, its been mentioned before, a lot of people don't see the various threads zilvia has and I understand that, but you could've just used google.
