Cutting open tail lights with a Solder iron! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Great work, I bet that would look dope with a red vinyl over it.

You inspired me to get mine done today. Thanks for the heads-up on the hooked soldering iron. Worked like a charm.

For those wanting to do this... have patience. It takes forever but it's worth it!

Anyone else see Christopher Walken's character from Joe Dirt saying this thread title?

@JollyJON - Do you have pics from further back with the taillights on the car? I'd love to see how it looks on Asphalt / DGM.

To the OP -Nice-

JollyJON · 07-26-2012, 10:19 PM

here are some clearer pictures of the back sort of. you can at least tell that they are both black

MemphisR · 07-26-2012, 10:35 PM

I think that you did a great job. I have thought about doing them to my car when I get it, but the only difference is that I want to see what they would look like body color... but I want to photo shop it first to get an idea of if it will look like shit or not

civicdrivr · 07-26-2012, 10:46 PM

They look great! I forsee another winter project in my future.

rcm47 · 07-27-2012, 11:51 AM

Looks good! I wanna see it on a lighter color car though.
