I am doing my side markers and roof marker lights tomorrow when I get back home. Sister told me that my NIGHT SHADES came while I've been gone and is sitting in the garage waitingWill post pics Sunday

 

I'm expecting my nite shades to arrive tomorrow...Looks like a weekend of toxic fume fun for the both of us, RHILL! I'll try to get some picks up soon too, if I don't run the s**t all over the place. Are you gonna remove the side markers to spray them or do them in place? Also, thanks for your offer H threeAlpha...I'm sure we'll find the need.

 

Well, the roof markers are drying as I speak (or type). I'm looking at the side markers and trying to debate if I want to remove them or pull the ole blue tape out

 

Same here, RHill! I decided to just tape my side markers...it was pretty easy to work the tape in there snug to the light. I'm going to let the nite shades dry for an hour or so and then clear coat everything. I read on a rice burner forum that the clear coat makes the tint much more durable. Hopefully it won't lift the nite shades. I did a test with an old lens and it seems to be OK. I'm going to see just how durable this turns out to be and maybe I'll smoke the back tail lights too.

 

Well, Roof markers are finished and put back on. Not sure if I like the side markers though. May just go ahead and take them out tomorrow and clean them off and do them again, a little bit lighter. What do you think Hummerhead? Forgot, I took off the nerf bars also.

First, I took them off obviously:


Then I painted the lenses on some cardboard:


Completed in the garage:



Installed Night Shot:


Last one is kind of a crappy shot. I'm going to get a better day/night shot tomorrow.

 

Looks Great RHill! You went pretty dark, which looks good with the black truck. I left mine with a hint of yellow still visible. I LOVE the way they look! I took your advice and used a tint material for tail lights for the front turn signal...easy to install because it was flat. The clear coat worked great too...gave the lenses a glossy look...more like the stock finish. Here's a couple of shots...I plan to get some better photos of the vehicle when I get some extra time and I'll post them then.

 

the night shades looks good. Mine came a few days ago but I haven't had time to spray my lenses yet.

Hummerhead: You used window tint for the front turn signal? That looks good too.

 

Looks nice, I like it your way too. Didn't really PLAN on going that dark, just kind of happened. LOL

 

Did you paint your wheels?

 

If your H3 is under warranty or has the extended GM Certified warranty the dealer will replace the side marker bulbs under the warranty. I called today and my Hummer dealer said bring it by and they will do it. Takes about an hour. So rather than me take the time to take the inner wheel liners out ill let the dealer do it so if a pin breaks they will replace it. I asked about replacing the other side as well since there is possibility it too will go out soon, they said no problem, they will replace them both so i wont have to worry or bring it back.

I was unaware that bulbs were covered under warranty, but apparently so.
