    Smoked front signal lens

    I smoked my lens using the same material I used to red out my taillight lens. It turned out good. It can be left permanently there but it is also can be easily removed.
    Before:



    After:

    Heat wrapped




    Trimmed


    Lights off


    Lights on

    how did you get it to conform to the lens so well and do you have any interest in selling the material or a set of pre smoked lenses?

    The material I use is very easy to work with. Just heat it up with a hair dryer while working on the edges and it stretches. I can supply the material.

    That red is a different shade from the one I got. It looks faded. How much did you pay for the repair tape?
