Does anyone know where to get some aftermarket taillights for a 2003 sunfire? the cars is yellow and in the process of geting blacked out and was looking for some smoked or black taillights, just cant find them anywhere tho.

I smoked my own. Took me exactly 5 beers to pull them, prep them, paint them with VHT, and reinstall them.

I'll do them for you. For the low low price of a 6 pack and a can of VHT you too can have tinted tails.

just use some VHT and call it good. I am yet to find any aftermarket lights (except the marker lights) for a Sunfire

I did one reverse lens for the pic to show the difference. They are both done now...

VHT is the way to go now. I had mine covered by Chazz back in the day, using a blackout film much like that of window tint. Got my taillights, third brake light and all the side markers done.

VHT is a good prodct, but you can easily mess things up with it too. i have sen many lights with lots of orange peel on them, and some that are so dark you cant see through them. i would recomend trying it out on something else first to get a good technique down.

I didn't clear mine. I pulled them and then cleaned them really well with some brake parts cleaner. I put 2 or 3 thin coats of VHT on them until they were dark enough for my satisfaction.

forsure hard to come by these days, i bought mine back in the day when u could still buy em new. I now have my reverse lights inbeside the tail lights, and on the set we made for the vert we put turn signals in it like toyo's.

Dude, it's too easy to do them yourself. Go to VatoZone, get a can of VHT for $15. Pull your trunk liner back, and remove the 3 10mm nuts securing each of your taillights. I think the screws on the third brake light are T10 torx. I did half the work for you...
