Default tinted my headlights and taillights

was cleaning up the haze on my headlights and figured why not tint them a little.

used night shades, did one medium coat on the front, and and 2 medium coats on the back.






i cant tell a differences in viability in the fronts, back did change a little but still better than taillight covers.

left the 3rd break light alone just incase the taillights were too dark.

I highly doubt there's no difference in visibility.

stuff goes on pretty easy. just make sure you get your lenses clean before, use a prep/wax remover. i have a few spots where it didnt want to stick in the corners, but its not noticeable.

Should've cleared them you'll find out in a month or two when they start to dull.

if it starts looking dull i can wet sand it and add some clear. i didnt want to do it now since i liked the mat-semi gloss look.

Those look gloss to me and VHT has always sprayed dull; so maybe they changed it.....
