    a friend of mine used Nightshade on her 07 taurus tail lights, 3 coats, and when the lights are on at night you can still clearly see the light, unlike other cars i've seen where it's just a fraction of light, just looks like the light reflecting in them. She also masked off the reverse light section, only put 1 coat on that part. You'd swear they came from the factory like that.

    I used NightShades to do mine. I did them recently just last week or so.

    The secknd time i did it I used vht night shade., did like 4 coats wets sanded the last one lightly after letting it dry thoroughly (overnight) to remove orange peal 4 coats of clear wet sanded that and buffed it to shine..... I upgraded the bulbs to the brighter ones and placed a red led strip between the bumper and tai light assembly for brakes for the bright as fuck sunny phoenix days... Then I ended up backing into a sign and busted o e of them so I'm starting from scratch soon I'll post up pics...
    I have some pictures of the first time I tinted the lights but didnt look as good.

    I used VHT as well. I wetsanded with 1500 then sprayed it on until i liked the shade. I tend to spray thick and they come out glossy instead of flat.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    You're better off buying tail light film, It's fully reversible just in case you wanna revert back to the original

    i used LAMIN-X film. went red to get ridda the chrome accent. also did the third brake light red to make everything uniform:
