["350Vortec"]

Depends, what are you thinking about doing to them?

Your tails arent stock right? what do they look like?

 

["350Vortec"]

Nope they are stock blizz, I just took them off the other day and wet sanded them down to get rid of the water damage and Put a few new coats of clear on them. There just shined up stock Tails. I didnt like the blacked out ones remember?

Nice job. Looks great. Helped me clear mines that orange lens just stunk to me

blizz you have one hot truck one of a kind and thank you for showing this to use im gonna try this as long as i dont get yelled at hah im not gonna paint mine though just gonna remove the yellow thanks again

 

[2LOUD4U]

i was also just wondering to you think you can just use a heat gun or oven is the best way?

 

[denalianyone]

Next up Blizz, you should do the oven method again to remove the orange reflector from the headlights. Why not put a white or red bulb in the turn signal spot instead of orange.

Thanks 2loud

Yea, its super easy in the oven...it melts the silicone evenly...I dont believe a heat gun will be as simple...it looked great with just the reflector out...I almost didnt paint them red because I liked the look of the clear corners so much...but I figured, I wanna keep doing the black and red on my truck..so yea, I painted them lol

Denalianyone...I know...thers a few things I have been slacking on ever since I got my motorcycle and started school

As for the turn signal bulbs...its illegal to have any red light coming from the front of your vehicle while your driving on public roadways. If I add a red bulb, it would get me pulled over quicker then anything. (I just got a ticket 2 days ago for no front license plate by the way)...and a white bulb will reflect red in the red housing...what I'm actually going to do since the orange bulb is reflecting a little too dark is replace it with a yellow bulb instead...yellow bulb in red housing should give a better orange light..


BY THE WAY...I finished my "secret" corner light project MONTHS ago..."thehoe92" already saw it...I just havent posted pics because I need a better quality video to show you really what the deal is...I'll see if I can use his cam while we install his drop kit on the hoe!

 

[LazyAssLou]

Yea I used your tecnique with clearing out my head lights and geez!!!!!... putting them in the oven made it so much easier! I would of never thought of it if you didn't post it on here.

Well maybe I would of thought of it but it would of taken me some time to figure it out. haha...

 

[Bullseye]

never thought of the oven....good deal

 

[HoreRacing]

dude this looks tight im actually waiting for the oven to preheat now sparked an idea for my yukon changing it up a wee little bit tho.

 

[thehoe92]

oh and can I have your left tail light and you can have mine?
I want to repaint it the right way and I don't want to mess up the one I have by trying to strip off the old paint..

 

[clean454]

stripping off the old paint is easy bro
ive done it a buncha times i need to finsish stripping the nite shade off mine
when i get back prolly this weekend
and i wanna bake my front marker lights and pain them black

 

[l.downen]

Would it be wise to take out orange layer if you're gonna smoke them with nightshade? If so would you have to get a different color bulb? oh, and do most folks smoke lights on the inside or outside of light?

 

[ThaMikeSkoola]

Does this not work on a Tahoe? I can't get the orange lens off... everything worked perfect until I got to this part.

 

[Nbs]

So does this work on an NBS Tahoe also?

And do you have pics of the "secret project"

 

[FishinCricket]

Looks bloody!!

 

[Ddbell21]

Your tails arent stock right? what do they look like?

Will this work on a 03 Yukon ?
