Pics of my DIY smoked taillights
I got around to taking picutures but they might be crappy b/c I took them with my phone since I could not find the digi.
And here is a pic with the blinker lit up. I think it shows through just fine.

yeah kinda
yeah kinda
Here is the DIY Part:
Its very easy....
1) remove tail lights
2) clean them somehow (i used rubbing alcohol then dried it off)
3)then use masking tape and scrap paper to block off the top part of the tail lights...take your time on this becuase you want the tape right on that split between red and amber. (or red and white for you 99-00 folks)
4) I applied 3 coats total of Nightshades tail light tint
---I found it at a store by me called Driving Style in my mall, but check your local pep boys or autozone, they should have it. There are other products as well, you dont have to use Nightshades
----do one coat at a time, it says on the bottle how long to wait inbetween coats. i think i waited 45 mins or so
----Dont do 3 coats right away!! make sure you want your tails dark if you do three coats!! Try less first so you dont overdo it.
5) let them dry over night to be sure they are totally dry (reccomended)
6) Also do it inside (preferrably a garage) so you dont get dust and **** on them, but make sure its semi ventilated
My blinkers show thru just fine
Hope that helps. Good luck!! 8)

So you basically just sprayed the night shade on the glass? Also you think that would look ok on a 92-95 coupe?
