F/S R50 tinted tails

[naladude911]

I am selling my 2001 QX4 Tinted tail lights. My town says they're illegal because you can't see the light, but trust me, the lights are pretty bright at night. I am selling these because I am tired of getting tickets, and bought a pair of black altezzas. $60 total. Tinted with VHT Niteshades. Please note that the perimeter of the tails is wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl. It can easily be removed tho.

I hate to say it, but these are gonna be a real tough sell, especially in this forum. My recommendation: remove the vinyl carbon fiber overlay, buy a can of lacquer thinner and wipe off the nite shades tint and sell them as factory lamps. It won't take more than an hour to return them to their original color.

would that take a couple coats off? aka I could lighten the tails but keep them tinted or would that just look horrible

No, the lacquer thinner is an all-or-none type of thing. It removes clear coat and nite shades really easily without ruining the actual lens. If you wanted to lighten the tint then you can simply lightly sand the parts that are tinted and this will reduce the darkness of the tint. After you've lightened the tint then you would need to re-apply the clear coat so it has that glass-like appearance. You have to be very careful when sanding, you want to ensure you don't lighten some areas more than others.

I say keep like that cause to remove the VHT your gonna need Go-Gone and need to rub it hard as f$$k for at least for 30min to 40 to remove the VHT of one the taillights. Then you have to polish the taillights or it will look really nasty.

Take my word bro cause it happened to me.

One more question, Is the Vinyl strip custom made or is Pre-cut?

[naladude911]

custom.

Lacquer thinner would have been a much easier route than Goo-Gone. I removed the nite shades from both tail lights twice with lacquer thinner (I was really picky about the tint darkness). All I needed to do was take some paper towels and some of the lacquer thinner and it came right off. It took me no more than ten minutes per lamp. The pain in the a** is trying to get the nite shades and clear coat out of the small crevice that goes around the perimeter of the lamp, a mini screwdriver can fix this.
