Well i tried to install the HID's in today but got the flickering so I took them out for now, but I started to Tint the Tails. here are some pics after I Sanded and Taped the lenses. I will update as I go along, I have three coats on so far, but might do a light 4th, then clear them, i dont know yet I'm debating right now as they dry.

Ok so I decided to stay with 3 coats, going to let them sit for a while before I start to clear them, but here is what I have so far. Its so hard to tell how dark they really are untill I get them out into the day light.

Those will turn out nice, that was the first mod I did to my car....tinted tails and side markers. Isn't there capacitors or resistors or something that you can get also to get rid of the flicker?

There is but from what everyone has said about this guy off ebay they didnt need to, but I will have to try working on them tommorow if the weather holds out. I need to find a store locally that sell the stealth bulbs, so the blend in, and not have that Amber glow when they are off.

They look good so far! I think tinted tails is my favorite mod I have done because of the huge ugly red tail lights on the charger. But those look real good on the magnum too. Can't wait to see them with the clear on!

If you're really considering going and picking up new ones, let me know. I can probably get you a flicker free set at a good price with local pickup. I'll check on them.

Pics of them installed. I wish they were a lil darker but they will do for now. It definitly does look better being its not straight red. I wont to do the 3rd brake light but I havent looked on how to remove that, if possible.

You looking to get hids. I got about $160 invested in lows, fogs, and caps and they work great.

Paid all of $10 for it. The pictures don't do it justice... I am going to back the car out tomorrow (if it's not raining) and try and get a better shot of it.. but until then....

Decals look good Robert. I am on my phone so I cant tell if you put the misspelled TN on there or not. hahahaha

MR-SMITH

I think I like it better with the writing on it like you have Robert. That and I have had several people ask what what TNMM stands for.

02-28-2009, 11:35 AM
No I haven't heard from him but now that i see Roberts I think I want the wording on mine too! I guess we all need to start PM'ing him about this! I am still waiting on something else I ordered from him as well.

I went ahead and put the wors on (but I cut them loose first) so it would be easier to replace them... I like it with the words. For the very reason you guys are saying... I don't want to have to explain it every time... :)
V8Mag, i would highly recomend the black with gray outline on the TNMM decals...
