i went to a model store that deals with small model cars and stuff like that, got a small can of "smoke" the top of it looks like a window tint color black but you can see threw it, the more coats you appeal the darker it gets. payed $6 a can. i just did my VRG foglight trim.

hehe i wrote this a long time ago, before i was able to get pictures, i put it in the tutortorials, its been almost 2 years, and by my method, my lights still look wonderful !!! i will take some pics when i get my car back from the shop, and my car is always outside also, and always raining here :(

But here is a link to the method i wrote up hehe

Hope this will help all of you in the end, And to not get orange peel, u wanna use very thin coats. ;) follow my walkthrough step by step, and in my oponion, they look the best, when your parking lights are off, they are a dark red. or at night. Black. but when u use your breaks, u cant even tell that they are tinted ! :)

And VHT Nightshade is the best product to use, But you gotta be very very carefull when painting with this stuff, And i tried to do my headlights, Was virtually impossible, But was cold out, Make sure it is 75-80 degrees outside when u are painting, Or the paint will run or crackle. Also, Make sure to clean the product, and not to get any skin oils on it right before painting, or you will get fish eye effect. And rember, the object is not to spray it on so thick u can see it, just mist it till it looks slightly glossy, let it set up a few minutes, then re mist it. best results is actually, BARELY spraying it, 10-15 coats. Over time the darkness does fade a little bit, But the shininess does not. my tails still look very very factory ;) But. Yea. some places have very strict road rules ;( At least they dont look stock at all when my lights are off ;))

This one was taken over the winter ( while i was rebuilding the motor ) before i wrecked it, and screwed thoes wheels :( grrrr... But it was raining and crappy, an sittin for a month in this picture and does not serve these tails justice, this was with a year and a half a wear on them, But they look much shiner clean :)

My Galant center sticker was fallin off, lol, ride started falling apart ;P was time for a fresh motor and a rebuild ;)

do you think it will work with the regular red tail light?

[Da_Prodigy]

the pic above your post is a regular red tail light on the 99-01 model

yea It works fine on those tails. I used VHT night shades too. Wasn't too hard just have to be super careful. I followed Eclipse 97526's thread on it.
