Pardon me for being the dumb fireman.  I've read this thread twice, and I'm still not understanding the sequence of this process?  Are you spraying clearcoat before the chrome spray?  Does the clearcoat fill in some of the pits like a primer?  Please correct me if I am wrong, but is it 1). primer  2). clearcoat  3). chrome spray  4). clearcoat again?

:yesnod:Those tail lights look great - I would love to give it a try on a rainy weekend. :icon_smile_approve:

Where did you get the LED bulbs!???  I'm buying a set.

At http://www.hitechledproducts.com they are BRIGHT


Those are a great find!

What model # are the ones you used?

Was it the 1156 or the PSC30? And what was the diameter size you went with (I don't have access to my Charger to measure right now)

Hey, thanks - I didn't see that one.... :P

I wish they had a better description of the whole package - does it have new wiring and instructions? They need to put the contents in there somewhere.

They are truly a "bolt On", u can use your old wiring.

   Looks pretty real,   have you tried that on other chrome parts?     :thumbs:     


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

Concerning the rings that cover the lenses.... From the factory were the ribs on the back of the rings Argent Gray or chrome? The ones I'm working on appeared to be painted gray. I know the tail light assemblies are original and have never been off the car or restored. I'm wondering if it was paint or chrome that came off the ring ribs when I cleaned them.
