Yea i dont know how good that would look on a red car. Ill do the plastic film route and see how that goes. Hopefully ill tint the reverse lights and fogs tomorrow at least

okay today im tinting the lower reverse lights and fog lights and ill look at the headlights to see what i can do.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the pics!

reverse lights and fog lights u can tint all u want. some states have laws that there must be an amber reflector in the front of ur car and all that. just check ur laws

Yea I know thats why i was skeptical about it. I just tinted my reverse lights and im waiting for them to dry so I can clean them up real nice. My fog lights ill probly not tint so dark. And I think I changed my idea to maybe figure out a way for a nice eyebrow on the headlights.

i put i think 4 coats of VHt on my fogs and they still shine through good

it says right on the can, not to apply more than 3 coats.

I just finished my reverse lights last night. Ill post pics when i get home from school.

I put 4 coats on my lights because I sprayed from pretty far away and it still wasnt dark at all. I can still see through the light with 4 coats. So i think it just depends how thick of a coat you put on.

Im thinking about doing 2 coats to the fogs though because i would like a good amount of light to still get through

Just got home and took some pics of my reverse lights.






Im really happy with how clean and shiny they came out. Definately looks better. Next ill do my fog lights

Looks great!!!

[pontiacgt05]

Thanks!

I would do it to my car but it would be way too much black when I get done making my custom tails.

[TruGreenGAGT]

looks very nice.
now throw up some day/night shots of the bulbs lit up

[pontiacgt05]

Sorry it took so long to get pics. Ive been kinda busy. Anyway here they are

During the day





At night




I was pretty surprised by how much light got through at night. compared to the stock ones not much difference.

[TruGreenGAGT]

very nice! was worried at 4 coats youd have no lights

[pontiacgt05]

Thanks! Yea i guess its cuz i sprayed very lightly. Ive seen tailights with three coats that you cant see the reverse light at all. But next up is the fog lights, whenever i have time haha

[cwolfenberger1]

Yeah that looks awesome. Might do the same for mine sometime..
