actually you are incorrect, The dents were not there and I know that as a fact. It has been a result of the reaction between the plastic and the paints. for one they are on aftermarket tails and I did notice the dents you are talking about on my old stock tails but the clear lense on the aftermarkets were sanded down and smooth as a babys bottom before I cleaned them up and sprayed the paint. also if you read the thread I have already cleared and wetsanded. No covers have been on any car I have ever owned. Not trying to be rude or anything but make sure you read before posting. if you meant something else my bad.

which ones you talking bout?

Always bought since brand new? Good for you. Also, unsuccessful attempt to not be rude. You obviously just it did it completely wrong then. From proper technique (already cleared and wetsanded) to using the wrong paint for the material being painted. Have fun!

The best look I've seen is LS1 tails tinted all red. Problem is you lose your white reverse light. Next best thing I've seen is exports with the amber part tinted red. Too bad they're so damn expensive.

The candy corn tail lights look bad *** if you have the amber section tinted red. I've seen it before on here but it was a pic that was rehosted in a completely off-topic thread if i recall so i have no idea where to begin searching for it

I found this video of the leds at night, the layout just doesnt flow well at all i think. I think these are the same as the one posted in the vid above

If the dents weren't there to begin with like you said, it may not be from a chemical reaction from the NiteShades. Think about it, tons of folks have done the stuff and not had any problems. If it was a chemical reaction, it would be all over the tail lights. What are the odds of it being in basically the same spot on both lights? I know your lights are aftermarket, but as you know, Camaro's have a denting problem right there. I'm thinking it's the bulbs, specifically the ones right behind those dents are getting too hot causing the problem. Maybe the NiteShades is holding in more heat? Switch to LED bulbs and you won't have a problem with heat and hopefully this doesn't happen on your next set of tails. I'd vote for the LT1 lights.

jax, im still up for selling you my lt's for 150 haha.. I think those led tail lights would look fantastic if you tinted the lenses black...

im thinking about doing it myself looks clean imo

edit:

after thinking about it i may not... if 1 led goes out, itll look like poo

thats what it probably is, the only thing is its only on the reverse lights which never are one for longer than 5 - 15 seconds lol. Thats some fast acting heat especially when the air temps havent been over 50 degrees. but its w.e. im planning on switching to LEDs with the next set like you said. I dunno if you saw the setup of the gay *** tails before the nightshades but its in the same location and shape as the ones in those LED ebay lights.
Ive pretty much decided once I find a cheap set of LTs Im gonna get my buddy to spray my berger gloss black and get the mirror emblems and inserts.

and ____Z____ if im gonna pay 150 for your LTs, I would rather pay for those ones that would be professionally done and paint guaranteed lol. But thanks anyways, if you go down in price about 50 maybe. Also the reason I cant see myself buying the ebay LEDs is the thing you said bout having a single LED out causing the whole thing to look bad.

Also where is a good place to buy quality leds, because of course the parts stores dont carry them.

you got a pic of the direct rear up close, my main issue is how glossy the black on the housing is, from an angle with the gloss stripes I put on my tails didnt look right because the housing wasnt high enough of a gloss.

I just had an idea. What if, on a car with a berger panel, you tinted the tails and then painted the top third of the light to match the car. So the light would essentially disappear. Now this wouldn't work with stock tails as the reverse light is in that upper third. But if you could get enough light output from the lower chunk of the light, it could work with exports or aftermarkets. I'll try and photoshop something up.
