SS Silv Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Looks good. But I think the regular bulbs illuminate better than the LED's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr82sxs Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 ppg dbc 500 clear blender/and a few drops of ppg dbc 41u black. use a gray scotch brite to scuff them up. then you use bulldog. spray your clear blender/black base to desired color tint. then shoot them with ppg 2021 clear coat. wet sand em buff em out and you have smoked lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT13 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 looks good. i had the led's in mine for about 2 min. couldn't really see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 do you have the LED's all around, fron and rear turn/brake lights? I just put some in the front turn signals, and they flash really quick like if i had a bulb out or something... do yours do this? (I have the rear bulbs to install, just haven't had the 10 minutes to do so) Your tails look killer man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
