Spray Tinting Taillights, How to Tint Your Car Tail Lights The Easy Way (CityBug/C1/Aygo/107)

I tinted the tail lights on my Citroen C1 using aerosol spray on light tint. Much easier than vinyl wrapping and a decent result for very little effort.

YES! The C1 shitter is back 🙌 😍 I would be proud to go to school in that and tell all my mates that my dad works for team Red Bull F1. Brilliant footage 👏

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

It’s not going anywhere soon, well… saying that I’ve not even driven the car for about a month. I lent it my mate and it’s so good that now he’s ignoring me since I asked for it back. Obviously just wants to keep it! P.s. my lad also “loves” being dropped off at school in it. So much so that he insists I drop him where nobody can see it, the cheeky little bastard 🙄

[@ukdroneking]

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos We need it back for more YT videos 📹 This shitter is the star of the show? * Your lad will look back at in one day and see that you was cool 😎 👌

quality job, always gotta do a rattle can job outside when its windy af.

I used to get lifted from School in a grey Nova SR and thought I was the dogs danglies 😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

My son is embarrassed when I drop him at school in this, can’t blame him though 😂

[@simonjj7397]

Turned out really well, I'm very tempted. Great work yet again.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Not a bad result for an idiot painting them in the wind 🤣

Spray the rear windows with it aswell 🙃

[@ukdroneking]

Yeah I was thinking the same

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

This has been suggested a couple of times, might give it a go 🤣

[@inttelect]

Make video of how to change heater blower motor in cabin! that should be nice pain video i'd think 😆

I’ll wait for mine to fuck up before I tackle that one haha

[@Sloposse]

Fookin ell Tim lol your lucky the lights didn't disintegrate like the hazard switches do when you spray polish on them. YES 😄

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@Sloposse those hazard switches disintegrate when they are installed at the factory.

[@grantdeancommons5390]

Looks good just get a spare set of rear lights for mot time

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@grantdeancommons5390 it’s fine for MOT. The reverse light has a blue tinge but it still more white than blue.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

I wonder what the outcome would be if the lights were flatted with wet and dry like you do for headlights before spraying. They do look better after you polished them for sure.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@DARTraderMediaProductions this stuff is designed to stick without flatting, cos you can take it off again with some de-tinting spray

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Good point, it would be a bitch to try and remove applied to a flatted surface I guess.

[@jackdyet2902]

Had been considering this but didn’t know if it would look tacky, I was gonna ask in the group but have you ever tackled stuck/seized plugs? Mine wouldn’t budge after taking the coil packs off, have a set of denso tt to go in🙄

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@jackdyet2902 I think it looks better than I expected. Yea I’ve done my fair share of stuck plugs. I find that sometimes a bit of shock helps (small impact gun used gently). Also sometimes doing it when the engine is hot can help

[@jackdyet2902]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thanks mate I’ll give it a whack again soon

[@emmanuelhud1]

My little c1 going strong the gear shift does that weird pop out the socket feel I did the screw hack. Is there anything else I can do?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You can fit a mk2 shifter mech. They are supposed to be a lot better 🤔

[@ivanendicott3273]

Foot tapping resumed, the world is in harmony again.... Yes ! Actually for a shit job they actually looked half decent after a polish. Great sucess 👍

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

The earth is back on its axis! Thanks mate!

[@gavjlewis]

Make sure you do it after your MOT. Reverse light check, white, eh no it's blue! 😂 Fail. 😞

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@gavjlewis it’s just got a blue tinge to it. Be reet

[@gavjlewis]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I guess depends how picky the MOT tester is. Just MOTd the other car yesterday (not the C1) and decided to leave the Auxito headlight bulbs in. He failed it. I had to swap them back out in the carpark and retest it. Soon as I got home put the LEDs back in. 😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@gavjlewis I had to swap mine too. As an MOT tester myself I’m as fair as I can be, but some things aren’t testers discretion and are a straight fail so you have no choice. The guy who tested mine agrees that the Auxito should pass as the beam is perfect, but rules are that he would have to fail it if they were in ffs

[@gavjlewis]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Yes he tested them and beam was good. It was only how white they were that raised eyebrows. Nearside Headlamp light source and lamp not compatible (4.1.4 (c)) Offside Headlamp light source and lamp not compatible (4.1.4 (c)) The only annoying thing was I had to wait until he had done the next MOT so had to hang about. I took them out for the MOT on the C1 because it's pretty obvious but thought I might be ok on the Mazda 6. Ah well.

Your videos are hilarious! 🤣 But on a serious note, does the choice of newspaper for masking make a difference?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate! Choice of newspaper is critical, but none of them are as good as they used to be about 10 years ago…
