I'm pretty much blacked out, but I used the covers and have had no problems with them at all. Not people taking them, or them ruining my lights in the sun either. I didn't use the nightshades on my sides either just an automotive paint but wouldn't suggest it if you're worried about cops. You can see a little through them, but not much.

Thats how I did mine as well...I did the tail lights, side marker lights and corner lights.

This is also what I did with my old camaro, a friend of mine at a body shop mixed clear and black and we got these results. Before and after.

Also Camaro's 97 and up with the newer style tail lights, they will melt with blackout covers. Mine did it 3 times before I realized the problem.
