s4 tailight mod

well i took apart the s4 tailights, and there isnt any mods you can do to the inside of them. there is no diffuser or anything it is built into the lense itself. i also tinted them and i think it looks good, still not anywhere near s5, but worth the 15 bucks. ill get pics tommrrow

at 250 degrees it deformed the plastic but it came off easy, so 250 is TOO HOT! try a hair dryer.

Holy revival!

250 degrees will not warp them if they are in there less than 10 minutes... I took my s5's apart on 275...


Why do you need to take the s4's apart??

there is no need to take s4s apart, I sprayed them with VHT from the backside quite easily

I did that like 13 years ago, lol
