I was conversing with a co-worker at work who has used VHT Nightshades to tint the tail lights, turn signals, etc. on his Vette. Anyways, I was telling him about how I wanted to tint the lense that covers the dumby & temp/gas lights on my 93 Si (similiar to the smoked lense on the 94-96 el gauges). He checked it out and was explaining how Nightshades is kind of difficult to spray evenly and wouldn't exactly look good on that particular piece of plastic (gauge lense cover). I forgot what exactly he said. He didn't say it would be impossible, but difficult.

I was trying to find a thread where I swear it talked about tinting this piece, but have had no luck. My question is, has anyone done this before and are the lights easily seen when lit?

 

Tint it with window tint film. That way if you don't like it, just peel it off.

 

What particular stores usually carry automotive window tint? Or anything similiar.

I can vouch for the niteshade spraying unevenly. I sprayed the tails on both my trucks and going to do the tails on the lude too. You have to have a very steady hand to get it just right.

 

i used some light colored vinyl tint on my headlights and on the white part of the tail lights...turned out great.

 

I did the same (window tint) for my fogs, looks good

 

Thanks guys, great responses. Just what I needed.

I think I'll try out the window tint film as suggested.
