small lil mod i dunno if anyone else has done on here but when i open the doors all 3 lights come on yet you still have control of each one while its off.. its easy to do just add a 2 diodes one to each positive and there you have it!!

i used to own a pair of HE2s. pretty sweet. but what exactly is blacked out besides the paint? : P

[scott192]

tinted windows, i have the tail lights tinted now and the decals on the back have been removed so its all black other then the rims and thats soon to come!! :yahoo:

[kwhauck]

i think............your car is dirty!!

really.....i'm not into bass so it really doesn't do anything for me...

i love how the tail light tinting works so perfectly with our cars in black. looks 1000x better then stock imo. if youre looking for a cheap temporary solution to real rims you could paint the stockers with wheel paint and 10 layers of clear coat. finished product looks great in person. they just get real dirty real quick. although that armor all wheel protector works wonders

[scott192]

the tint and LED lights look amazing! the one thing im still thinking what to do with is the headlights id like to take the reflector out and then paint the crome black for the running light and signal light and leave the headlights crome and then the lens back on instead of tinting the housing but im still thinking i dont wanna destroy my headlights!!! yet i dont want stock ones!!! what do i do lol

[kwhauck]

paint em, they will look good, several others have done it.....

[scott192]

well it looks like i have a painting project and even a little oven baking lol

well gotta go buy some new brake pads and disks since mine are warped to shit so im off

[scott192]

well the brakes turned out great!! now im just ordering the hid upgrade kit right now on ebay

[That01Olds]

Welcome to the site man. Car looks good so far imo. Keep it up man.

you could spray VHT Nightshade on them. make vinyl cutouts over each light and when you peel it, light still gets through. i made the cutout large for the main light so it didnt restrict night visibility

that looks sweet but i was thinkin about painting inside the light covering the crome for the signal and running light and leave the front lens clearso behind the bulb isnt shinny

[scott192]

i cant remember who it is on here but they put red and blue leds all over inside his car and i was lookin into adding a few les around the car and came across the sweetest lights its 3 colors in one led red green and blue comes with 4 lead on the bottom gonna do roughly the same thing he did but its gonna be 3 colors and all in one bulb :)

[whiterider00]

[scott192]

Are you thinking of cherrington17?

[scott192]

that whould be the one!

[tw0123]

This is what I have done to my headlights, I took them apart, taped over the orange reflector, painted the bezels black, put them back together, and then put the light tint over the outside cover... I have to play with them a bit, the passenger side is a bit darker than I would like...

Your hoe would look nasty with a set of these to accent your red pinstripe!

Found em here (http://www.performanceplustire.com/products/wheels/searchType/searchByVehicle/year/2002/make/OLDSMOBILE/model/ALERO/applicationID/10061/wheelSize/16/show/ALL/productID/7462/wheelDataID/72830#prodAnchor)

Scott, as for you, don't hold back to murder it. I'm jealous you get to play with a black car. Mine's just silver, but it works for me.

[scott192]

im very happy that i have a black car to play with!! today i was at a buddys shop lookin at leather colors for the seats thinkin red and black or white and black.... but im still even debating if i should fuck with the seats at all since im in canada and all i need to say cold ass!! even with heated seats still cold ass on the bum.. ill have to think about this or if anyone knows where to get sweet custom seats in calgary alberta for less then 2000 let me know!!!

click the link in my signature for "frequently asked questions"

there is a whole section on different led projects, that i've made "how tos" for.


with a black car, you can really just pick your favorite color. just remember to stick w/ whatever color you pick. don't mix and match...

[jhubbz]

Also, If you don't already have black carpeting, head on over here (http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCarpet.asp?Itemid=8798&MakeId=21&ModelId=599)

[scott192]

sweet site man!! that will go sweet with the seats if i end up doing that!! do they have headliners with sunroof didnt really look??

all the leds are going to be tri color bulbs but all wired to be the same color at the same time. instead of having a red and blue bulb side by side im going to have one bulb that can change color and i have a color changer to pick the color and ill just have a series of switches to select which lights come on

these are the bulbs http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/led/LE1011.htm

[scott192]

got my HID's today in the mail and there 10000K 35w both headlight and fog and wow it looks amazing crazy bright now i want them for my highs but im thinkin 6000k for them but its great i love the alero headlight housing its

[scott192]

[Ttop191]

pretty slick... but... 5000mcd isn't all that bright. You'll probably need to mount a couple in each spot to get it to light up enough.

thats why i bought 100 of them! and 20 white smd super brights

[cherrington17]

ah. good call. be sure to post up after they are installed, i'm intrigued as to how they will look.

[scott192]

will do ill take some pics installing them

[scott192]

okay well when tinting the tail lights dont use film lol it just comes off at the carwash!! So i went and got a can of VHT Nightshade! and im testing it on my old cracked lens this is 3 coats.

another thing that bugged me about aleros is the brake lights why just the outside 2??
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/scott192/th_CIMG1346.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v635/scott192/?action=view&current=CIMG1346.mp4)
well i decided to make it all 4 and its super easy!! All that has to be done is go to the junkyard and get the 3 wire harness from the outside lights and take the rubber seal off and it fits like a glove and then you get a quick splice from a partstore and take the power off the light blue wire that goes to your 3rd light and connect that to the blue leads ill add a few pics
