Cheap way to tint your turnsignals

Originally posted by aveoike

I used regular 20% window tint. Took me 1 to 1.5 hours to do. (had trouble with the tint on the first light) This cost me $10 + time. To pay someone to paint it, the right way would run you about $100 for tails and another $40 for front TS in my area.

Sorry for the large pictures. I dont know how to resize them, once downloaded.

1. Remove your grill, 5 screws-philips head

2. Remove the head lamp which is held in with 3 10mm bolts. then unplug the harness.

3. Remove the 3 bulbs from the turnsignal and 2 9/32 bolts

4. Push inward on the lamp with medium strength is tough to pull out.

5. Apply your tint to the light, work out your bubbles and trim.

6. Reverse the process to put back in. Careful not to scratch it.
Finished...

im lovin your headlights. what did you use on them for the eyelids and where can i get it? was it expensive? its a good look for the aveo.

What did you use to tint it?

he used 20% tint, u gotta read the top portion of the post.

I meant what brand/product... $10 is a good price for tint...

prolly any old tint will work. id just hop on over to ur walmart or whereever they sell tint.

Oh ok, so he used the film window tint and placed it on the front or outside of the signal light I assume? I thought he painted them or something.

yeh but on another post/topic from aveogyrl she used a spray called vht nightshades. check it out, i think its only like 10-15$ a can.
