Oh well, who wants a cheap set of LED Tail Lights??? lol
How much? They wouldn't be so bad smoked

I was thinking the same thing. Kind of reminded me of the ugly tail lights on the tundra.

In my opinion, any lights with some weird, God awful bulge to them make me want to puke. The new Yota 4Runners are a good example, decent looking vehicle, but then those wacky bulges on the head and tail lights kill it.

So I started a new project this weekend. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and picked up a Dupli-Color Red Caliper Paint Kit which you can get off Amazon too (
Amazon Amazon
) and also got a can of the VHT Nightshades. I'm really trying to get rid of these LED tails, and I want to smoke out my stock tail lights. I've never used the VHT Nightshade before, and so I decided to try it on my 3rd brake light, in case I messed up, which I did The brake light can't be seen at all, so I guess I put too much on. Anyways, I'm going to look into how to doing a better job before I start on the tails. But here are some pics of the new calipers and brake light. If anyone knows anything about the nightshade, please help me out. I'm letting the calipers dry over night, just to be cautious. I will post pictures later on tonight of the finished product.



UPGRADE #6 - DUPLI-COLOR RED CALIPER PAINT

FRONT CALIPER



BACK CALIPER











UPGRADE #7 - VHT NIGHTSHADE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT

Light coats of nightshades and wet sanding in between is key. About 3-4 coats should do depending on how dark you want em.
