Smoked mirror turn signal cover

[Jwithing]

Looking at pictures of the truck, I now recall my initial desire to smoke out my turn signal cover on the mirrors to tone it down a bit since I've got the tinted drl's and corners. Anybody done this? Can you take the cover off? VHT nightshades, vinyl, tint, or some other method?

I've used this on my tails with pretty good success,

I've been needing to do the same thing. Figured I would vinyl tint or throw on some spray.

I have the tow mirrors with the smaller signals on the top. One has just about died out and I recall seeing a $100 price tag just for a new signal, about **** myself, so I'll probably get aggressive and make them very dark.

I think vinyl tint or spray would be fine on those, even if you take a hit on the illumination, it wouldn't be a huge safety concern.

Thanks for the link, this is cheap enough that I'll probably give it a try.

I sprayed mine but it has faded so I plan on using Lamin-X.

I was gonna attempt to take mine apart one day and paint the chrome part black if I can.

I want to replace my toe mirrors with factory sport mirrors.

just take your time when i was doing my taillights i kept getting frustrated, if you use a hair dryer it will make it a little easier to work with

Anyone have pictures of the final results? I'm about to try this.

Go with VHT nightshade.
Question about your headlights... is your DRL and corners smoked, or clear? Did you tint the headlight assembly cover?
Looks badass!

I ended up doing it since your initial post. I still haven't got around to polishing them out.

This was with Rust-Oleum Lense Tint.

The drls and corners have a light smoke that Jeremy from retroshop did. I believe it's only about %20, but it does help blend them better imo. Assembly cover isn't tinted. Also have the highly coveted black bezel and the bubbling is barely noticeable even if you know what you're looking for.

I like it! How are you going to polish them?

They really don't need it, clear coat settled well. Will need to use the Dremel for sure if I decide to add that little extra pop.

Didn't even know Rustoleum made lens tint. So you sprayed clear over it?
