This Car tutorial will teach you how to change the colour of car lights in Photoshop. You need to use the lens flare filter and hue/saturation tools for this tutorial. I have used a free stock image of a car which is available from: www.sxc.hu

Change colour of car lights

Step 1

Open an image of car in Photoshop.
Insert a new layer Ctrl + Shift + N.




Step 2

Take the paint brush tool with an appropriate brush size and paint the areas of the car lights in a black colour like below:




Step 3

Select Filter > Render > Lens Flare and move the crosshair to the centre of one of the black areas you painted. Now change the brightness to 70 % and the lens type to 105mm Prime.



Repeat this for the other black area you painted.


Step 4

Change the layer blending option to “Screen” like below:




Step 5

Select Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation and adjust the sliders to your liking. I have selected the following settings.

Hue: 255
Saturation: 100
Lightness: -7


Remember to check the Colorize checkbox.
