NickM47 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So I decided to be brave and me and a friend attempted tot isn't the rear lights of my baby fiesta. I am very happy with the results!! Went a lot better then I thought (thank God) attached are the results. I hope you all share my opinion and think they look great Nick Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 i have mine tinted and gives it the little edge on the rear i like it, did you not remove the lights to do it tho? rather than leaving them on the car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM47 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah I think it looks the dogs. We went to remove them but in the end we left them on the car and masked off the car as you can see. They are big lights and arnt really any tricky places to cover and the end result looks pretty much flawless Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickM47 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah exactly. Get a sense of achievement doing it yourself as well. Also on the picture the left light looks lighter but it's just where the Sun is making it look that way Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff4155 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It does look good with the dark blue colour, sorry for my ignorance, but how do you tint it, is it a spray or a laminant? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM47 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 When I first heard of it I had the same question so it's not your ignorance don't worry lol I got it in a spray can from Halfords which cost me 11.99 I believe. Just says rear light tints on the can it's pretty good I'd recommend it over buying tinted lights any day Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 mines a laminate so its easy to remove but looks the same just mine cost me £60 to get enough to do both rear lights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickM47 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 In all honestly mate I have never used film I have only used spray so can't comment. I think spray is a lot easier as well. Give the car a good clean, mask it off and spray till you get the desired effect good thing about the spray is you can stop when it's dark enough for you or just keep going. With film it's that darkness and that's that Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo91 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah good point mate I'm going to give this stuff a go! I take it you just clean the lights and spray it on then? Don't need to sand down or anything? And for legal issues does anyone know what can and can't be tinted? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271009988640 Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM47 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 No need for sanding just make sure they are clean and dry. I don't think it matters about your rear lights as long as you can tell the difference between the brakes,indicators, reverse light etc. I actually sprayed my deflectors a little bit which is illegal but look greAt haha Sent from my LG-D855 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I used that spray tint and it is really good and easy to use. I only ordered one can and ran out before I got the desired look for me. So I'm guna buy a second can. Might be worth buying 2. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo91 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So what is legal and not legal when it comes to spraying lights on cars then? Would rather know before I start spraying lol Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Along as you can clearly see the brake lights and distinguish between brake, indicator, fog, reverse then that will be fine. I don't think your allowed to tint the reflective part of the lights. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo91 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok then mate, cheers! Are headlights ok to do as well or are they a no no? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
