Some of your local Auto Parts house carry it. Advance has it here in Cincinnati.
VHT is a Tint: Take out your lights and wetsand or use Scotchbrite pad just enough to dull the surface. Use Dawn dishwashing liquid to clean the light before you use the VHT. Spray the first coat very lite. The coat will help the heaver coats stick so that it does not run. Wait at least 30 min's between coats. ONLY DO 3 COATS!!!!!!!! let it set for an hour then use some of Duplic Color Van & Truck Clear. Spray this the same way, first coat very lite then wait 30min and spray another coat. I did about (6) coats of clear.You can install the lights after it drys. Let the lights set for about a week then you can wet sand them with 1200/1500wet sand and buff

Does anyone have any pictures that show how the side markers look after tinting them with VHT Nite-Shades (preferably with the lights on)? If so, could you please post them? Thanks.

Here's an up close one, sorry don't have one with the lights on but it's light enough that you can see the amber and turn signals just fine.. These have 4 coats of VHT, plus 3 coats of clear.
