This is necessary since this post contains pics.
I like it. I wouldn't do it to my ride, but it does look pretty good.

with tint paint. Hobby town carrys it. Get the testors brand. make several coats until desired darkness, then do a coat or two of clearcoat.
On the outside of the lenses. don't try to take them apart. the paint will hold up fine. wipe them down with alcohol first to get any excess dirt u cant see. peace out.
i hope this will help

hmm, mines been on for over a year no problems no fading or anything.
stock tail lights were 20 bucks shipped off ebay. spray thing I used night shades by VHD i think it is. it was like 11 bucks a bottle. definatly worth the money. 3 coats and they were as dark as my phantom grey paint. at night you couldn't tell where the tail lights were with the lights turned off. durring the day you could but only when the sun hit the car.
ill be doing this to my 89 suzuki GS500E cleans the car up in my opinion, and it will definatly clean my black bike up.
