MHW W202 Euro All Red Tail Lights

[michaelmrbenzy]

I found this on ebay and I've heard that a few members have them on their car. Does anyone have any pictures of them on their car? If so can you please post it so I can see. Also where did you buy it? I saw it here, but I'm not too sure whether I can trust this place or not.

paint the stock one all red with translucent paint...u can buy the paint at any hobby shop..make sure its transparent and then buy clear coat..cost u less than 10 bucks..haha bring me ur taillights i'll do it for u for 100 bucks!!!! =P

[Juju202]

too much for a pair of tails

[michaelmrbenzy]

lol yeah! what do you think would be a reasonable price for those new?

[wichipong]

id rather get euro ambers at around 140-150 than those... i know it is very rare but how can you tell if it is not just painted over?

[W202FTW]

Has anyone ever seen a W202 Brabus CV8?

[wichipong]

dunno not sure... i think a member here or another forum has one...

[michaelmrbenzy]

lol true but I like the red look! I don't like the amber tail lights!

[michaelmrbenzy]

take your time spraying? layer after layer?!?

[michaelmrbenzy]

lol that would take hecka time though wouldn't it?

[nelius]

spraying tail lights does not seem that difficult.. Clean the surface very well, and make sure to get the tight spots first then do a few coats.

[michaelmrbenzy]

hmm maybe i'll just do that then. I'm just afraid I'll mess up! That's the main thing that's holding me back now!

[wichipong]

if you mess it up, you can wipe it out and start over!! lol...

[anf6789]

then wet sand the shit out of it, polish em up. they come out nice

[michaelmrbenzy]

is there some way to remove every last bit of the stock paint first? reason i was asking was because i know for the pre-facelift tail lights the middle section on one side it's clear and the other side is lightly smoked.

[michaelmrbenzy]

then wouldn't i have to wait another day to try again though?

[MikeD]

I question for VHT applications if it is better to, for example, black out or tint red a clear lens (like aftermarket LEDs) than the OEM lenses. It seems like the tail lights would be brighter that way!

the lights really depend on how thin/thick you spray the translucent paint... you use the same bulbs anyhow so its really just how many coats you put..

[michaelmrbenzy]

lol i'll do this when i have more time. I thought that painting it would be a lot harder.
