Nice man! I like the tint on the tail lights, not too dark but enough to take the brightness of the red away. Is that VHT on them? Just one coat?

fedyfedz · 06-30-2010, 09:13 AM

thanks man, Its actually translucent window tint spray its called its from a hobby shop about $4 and its like 4 or 5 light coats with 10 minute in between sprays

bigone65 · 06-30-2010, 02:04 PM

I love your choice tires did you have a chance to try them out yet?

Testing phase 1 lol about 16 inches of mud good test.

JPGandR · 06-30-2010, 05:45 PM

Hi perkinsbrandon72 and bigone65, my tires are 285/70/17 on my stock explorer limited rims. Like bigone said they do well in the mud and most any other surface you throw at them without being too loud on the highway! Have not done too much to the ex lately, but here are some pics of my stereo swap back in May. Also put in a Python remote start. Sorry for the glare-used cell phone!

I kinda like the look of how it is now and i love lighting and the black headlight housings will decrease my light output slightly my friend has a maxima that he just got those for and his hids look a different shade of color now. I tried ordering clear corner housings from amazon but they sent me the oem ones to late to return now

. So yesterday i put the newer ones on the truck and im thinking about smoking just the corner lights if anything. Id really like to just open up the corner lights and chip off or take out the amber piece but my mechanic friend said after i get it open I would crack the housing before getting the amber off...Any thoughts?

ckmieciak · 07-02-2010, 01:40 PM

hey i was thinking fedy,,, mabye just color the orange piece i am actually thinking about doing that now.. i cant find clear corners anywhere on the island.

Just cover the whole light but the orange piece and black it out ? mabye someone could quick photoshop for you

*BigRondo* · 07-02-2010, 02:51 PM

Everybody's X's look great!

Here's a couple shots of mine. It's bone stock except for the $20 fog lights I picked up at Wally World. Does this qualify for off road? Hey it's raining and since the driveway isn't paved it's technically "off road" lol! Enjoy

CALDWELL · 07-02-2010, 04:04 PM

Fedy

since you got an extra set of oem lights, see what u can do ?

perkinsbrandon72 · 07-03-2010, 01:50 AM
