Ive used the VHT Nightshade spray but tossed the lights because they didnt come out good. I did two light coats and when light was shown through you could see the imperfection.. I would prefer tinted that way if you dont want them anymore you peel it off.. i went with these lights instead of painting or tinting but might do a light tint to make it more dark.

yeah those look nice but they wont fit on my jeep cause i have a 96. how do you do the light tinting. will the tint come off if it gets wet? or is there like a spray that i can buy at a store to tint them?

Buy a can of night shades its a clear tinted paint

Be careful with nightshade, its easy to mess up.

Light Coat, Dry, Light Coat, Dry, Wet Sand, Light Coat, Dry, Clear Coat, Dry, Clear Coat, Wetsand, Done.

We tint heads/tails at our shop with it.

yeah ironically enough i used to be into the rc car thing and i have painted a few bodies. can you use like maybe window tint and tint the lights?

hal93

TGL2000

thanks man, just be careful not to paint them too dark if you do

hal93

can u tint them with window tint?

Diesel

Wetsand.

Yes, but it doesnt last too long due to open seams.

stuck like chuck

i used night shade on my old car. came out great and i didnt wet sand at all. just did several light coats until desired tint.

the guy that had my jeep before me did the headlights (mines offroad only) and at night i cant see ****. so i just put lights up top to see. i recommend not doing headlights at all

i have to wetsand my blinkers though

i used niteshade on my tailights and it came out great just as everyone said you gotta do it carefully and make sure you doing light coats over and over again if not it can get running and you will see that shine through when you brake etc.
