Dude, I'm a huge fan of having Smoked Tail lights...I always wanted to have smoked tail lights. Does anyone know where i can get some? I love the silver/black combination. It gives it a suttle look. Good stuff...thanks.

Man I love that look too! I always wanted to do it myself but i was scared I would mess up my taillights. I might try to find someone to do it for me.
 
You could make your stock tail lights smoked by using a paint called Nite Shades. Do a search online for it and you'll find quite a few places that sell it. :cool:
 
I was doing a search for the Nite Shade that Derek recommended right...It said "It's recommended for off-road use only, as it may not be legal in some areas." :eek: I don't know what to do...:confused: Should i get some nite shade for the looks or stay legal and keep them stock. Thanks for all the replies too!
 
I think I remember reading somewhere in here about ther being the chrome (clear) taillights and the black ones also. Not sure, can someone back me up on this one.?
 
There's a guy on the 350z forums that makes vinyl overlays for headlights/tailights/etc that will look the same as tinting your lights with nightshade paint only they're removeable. I'm sure he'd consider doing some for a 4runner. They're offered in several different shades also. Apparently people are very happy with them. Here's the website:

Those looks awesome...i want that on my ride! Thanks for all the feedback. The only question i have is where can i get the overlay like the one from the 350z forum? it says 30 bucks, i don't mind paying that much for them if you can remove them too. Sounds good to me. Thanks again.

Sounds like a better option that having it permanently done. The black JDM taillight are a lot more $$, but look incredibly cool. Here is a link to the thread on the chrome ones, but I think there is links within that thread that lead to the black ones:

Those are actually hard plastic covers and don't allow much light to come through. With the vinyl overlays you can choose how dark you want to go, and it can be shaped easily to do other areas light fogs/headlights, etc etc.

His email address is is [email protected] and his username is "Blue Batmobile" on www.my350z.com
 
I contacted that guy from the 350Z forum listed above. He stated he doesnt make the tailight covers. So you can consider that option dead.
 
well...he does make vinyl tail/headlight overlays for other makes/models (see link to his galley above). He would probably make one for the 4runner if enough people asked for it. It's not worth his time to make 1 or two of these i'm sure.

wow, i'd be interested for that price!
 
I did suggest that a lot of us were interested, but he didnt say anything about him only making it if more people were interested. I did check out his site by the way, and I really wanted the 3/10 tint for mine!
 
Hey guys....Andrew e-mailed me back and said that if there's enough interest, he can do it. I'm going to start a new thread. If you're interested, please post a response. I'll send him a link to our site so he can gauge the interest.

Thanks.
Ed.

Has anybody seen the black Escalades with the smoked/almost black tail lights? They look like they were done at a dealership or something. They have a nice glossy finish to match the car. The ones for the 4Runner look like a matte finish. I think that if I were to smoke my tail lights, they'd have to look like the Escalades. Good find though!

I don't know if I've seen an Escalade like that in particular, I'll keep my eye out. But, I did see a Cadillac SRX that was completely blacked out when I was in Vegas this weekend. It looked incredible and so did those tails. I wish we had an option like that......eventhough I have gone the way of chrome, those shinny black tails would still look great.
 
i smoked my tailights with noteshades and it turned out fine. i bought it at amazon.con for $10, but i am pretty sure you can find it on ebay too. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/gallery/data/500/4949tailights.JPG? it was fairly easy. i have not gotten pulled over for the tint and the lights are still fairly light even during the day. the only thing that i suggest is that you should take it to a real paint shop and get a clear coat done. i used the enamel based spraypaint and it turned out fine, but not like factory clear coat. if you have any questions let me know late.
