S4/S5 tailight project in progress, the degree of shading can be adjusted

of course



S4 lights: were crackly and ugly, now sanded, epoxy coated, sanded and painted

lenses were scrathed and hazy, now shaded, sanded and polished



S5 lights were hazy and the housing had some deep

scrathces in them, now sanded, clearcoated and shaded

keep in mind the flash bounced off the reflector on the S5 light



over and under shot with no light coming thru from behind:

still have to polish them up a bit

Is this for shits and grins or can I place an order for those S5's?

these lenses have a owner who is patiently awaiting thier return



anything can be done to another set though, darkness adjusted as well

picture I swiped off ebay for comparison of a stock s5 light:

after:remember the flash is bouncing off the bottom reflector

That looks gorgeous, but tough to see. I wonder how they look with the lights shining through the lense?



Nice as hell, though! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

what would happen if you blacked them out all the way? would they still be bright enough?

gonna look hot when installed to the car

that depends on your definition of bright enough and the local police



the same can be done for other lenses as well, side markers, front lens
