from all the vht'd taillights i've seen....the light shines through jsut as well as it does stock. if not, get brighter bulbs and you shouldnt have a problem?

Those are illegal too, as a clear corners. If a cop knows that and wants to be a ***, you can be given a citation for it. But yes, I almost assended a ~94 mustang with alteeza's b/c he was slowing to turn left and I didn't see them damn tail lights...
SRRY for being rude.

As for the steps i used. I had my laptop outside looking at the sticky write up. I just took them off cleaned them with windex. then dry sanded them with 1500 grit. cleaned them again with windex and purple power. Then i sprayed on thin layers about 10 minutes apart. I used about two cans. then i put them on my car and they were too dark. So I let them cure for a couple days and then wet sanded them with 2000 grit and polished them with Waxing Frenzy using the power ball and they lightened up just right.
here are a few poor quality pics
