Nop, I didn't niteshade because I read to many stories of it coming off in the future.
I bought these on ebay, they are very good quality and fit with no problem, and came with bulbs too.

But mine flash white now, which looks cool on my white car, lol.



P.S. If you want the name of the guy I bought them from PM me.

What'd you use if you didnt use nightshades? Looks good. I sanded mind smooth when I did mine, but I couldn't find a clear that would get along with the nightshades. I think it was too humid

Looks sharp man! I Niteshaded my lenses on my '95 T/A and were still looking as good as the day I did them 2+years later!

I also Niteshaded my '98, doing the tails within the next week or so:
