Default Blacked out lights

How do you night shade your headlights and tailights? Are there covers available or is it more of a custom thing, If so, how is it done?

Its a vinyl film that goes right on the tail light. Kinda like window tint. I got mine at Autobadges.com. I think they cost me like $65 or something.

autobadges hear. the hardest was the left part of the light that had the curve on it. you have to get it just right. but if you just put some watter and soap on it, it wont stick until it dries up.

Actually when I applied mine, I didn`t use the squeegie that came with the kit. I just used the soapy water and kept running my finger across the overlays to move out the water and it all came out perfect.

i got the smoked covers. Jus apply double sided tape or make a velcro system. Looks mean.

Why spend $60 on a small sheet of tint?

Get the nightshades for $12 and be done with it. I did, it looks awesome.
