ive used VHT nightshades on my old mustang and my firebird and it works good. just be sure to clean the light off with some prep spray. ive found it works better without scuffing the light before hand.

i've seen it used before and it looks real good if you take the time to do it right. i've seen people do a few layers of clear on top of it and it comes out real well.

ya i heard good things bout nightshades but i just used black spray paint on my cobra and mountaineer both look awesome flat black for SUV and gloss for cobra i did prolly three very light coats just spray till u get the darkness that you want make sure ur nozzles are clean and the temp is right other wise orange peel will haunt u

be careful though i did just pulled over by a state-pooper on july 2nd for the tinted taillights and headlights covers i got a warning (which i couldnt believe) he said the WISCONSIN state law is that you can not obstruct the lens cover what-so-ever but its been a year so ill keep em on
