- Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:24 pm #132443 This is a DIY in progress!

Hey dudes and dudettes,

I got some glowshift gauges (...are you done laughing?) and i got the ones that "black out" when they are off. when i looked closer i noticed that the glass was tinted a bit. thus i had an idea:

I'm going to tint my guage cluster cover and try to match with the gauges i got.

so im going to use a VHT nite shades tint and some bright LEDs

HEre's where I need your guys' help. I went onto [url]superbrightleds.com[/url] and called them up too. the guy said that higher the luminous intensity the brighter they would be! so my question is which ones should I get so they could fit my sockets and be bright enough to see through tint, yet have a large enough viewing angle so i wont have light spots and instead have nice light flow.

thanks again, and i will post pics right away as soon as i start this project!! thanks!

- Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:41 am #132573 Thats kool never seen or heard of that!! U should do it!!

- Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:08 am #132585 sweet! i got some support!

well today i went to a local checkers autoparts and autozona and neither of them have spray tint. a guy in checkers told me that they dont sell them anymore because some people got "2Fast and 2Furious" and just blacked out their tailights until nothing could've been seen. they got in a serious car accident.

people like that (also known as ricers) are the reason government spending millions of dollars to ban most products and mods instead of spending that money on healthcar or other needed branches of our society.

sorry for that, and ill be buying spray tint online instead of the store since there are retards in this world that fuck shit up.

stay posted!
