Cheap Blackline Lights

E90Boy · 04-01-2006, 05:42 PM

Just wondering about the Blackline lights, I've heard that you can paint or tint them smoked to get pretty much the same results, but cheaper. I know that Tightie tinted his and just want to know if someone has it done successfully and possibly provide a DIY.

you can't get the same results as blackline by tinting it as blackline's upper portions are white.

Inside a blackline , the indicator light bulk is white.
The original indicator light bulk is yellow.
