TInted taillights ( Halogen)?

[JDiMassa8]

Found them they are kind of pricey

The headlights are very pricy but very bright. They will b the brightest low beams you can get. Unless something new has come out.

You’ll have to forgive me being a newbie that water switch back turn signals

Tinted mine with VHT over the last couple of days - not perfect but first time I’ve ever tried something like it. Could definitely make it look better. Having a contact with a body shop mixing and spraying for you in the 50-100$ range is probably the move, though.

If anyone is interested I have removed my AVS Smoked Tail Light and Headlight Covers from my Truck. ( I have upgraded the headlights and taillights )
I will sell both sets for $75.00 + $25.00 shipping. Total: $100.00.
You will have to purchase some Velcro strips to put on your headlights and tail lights.


There are actually three tail light covers because I lost one on the road. (I did not secure the Velcro properly) Never had any problems once I went to the 3M Hook & Loop Fasteners.


The front headlight covers have small chips from tasking them off and on for night driving.
(It is not noticeable when the shades are in place but wanted the buyer to be aware.)


PM me if interested.

I see this is an old thread but....I'm about to order vinyl light smoke tint. Just wondering how difficult this is to apply. I have only tried tinting lights with vinyl once but it wasn't precut either. Turned out not so great lol. For those who have done it..with the precut. Difficulty level on a scale of 10??

I ordered the lamin-x precut for headlights and taillights, the headlights were a 1 out 10 and the taillights were a 10 out of 10 at least for me. I ended up throwing them in the trash after messing with them for over a hour on the first one. I ended up getting the taillights painted and even if I could have got the film to work there’s no way they’d compare to the paint.

I did mine and they came out great. BUT, do not order them if you don't have a heat gun. You absolutely need one to soften the film around the multi-compound curves. And if you've never applied film, the taillights are probably not what you want to learn on.

I assume painting the radar/sensor part of the taillight didn't screw up their function? I have mine tinted except for the sensor area. the little piece that came with the lamin-x kit was worthless. I think I'll use spray tint if it keeps the sensor working.

Correct, no issues with the sensors.

Cool, thanks!

I did the headlights on my RAM. I don’t have the led package but this looks awesome. I will be a attempting the taillights next time it warms up. I used the film instead of the spray on. It was a little harder than I was expecting

Sorry to revive a dead thread here but did you start with the night edition headlights or the chrome? How much did it cut light output? Would quality led bulbs make up for the loss in light output?
