I took a peace of tinted plexiglass and and heated it over a eye of a stove and formed it around the lens, and used 3m double backing tape to attach it.not hard to do.

I know you said you don't wanna night shade..... but why not? And the markers in your picture don't look tinted very much.

I have niteshaded my corners on my old Firebird, but I want a clear-smoke look. I emailed that company that does custom lenses, but have not received a response yet.

The reason why he doesn't want to VHT niteshade the 3rd Brake Light, (I'm assuming) is because there have been problems with doing it. Bubbles or something.

I VHT niteshaded my old Firebird, and i don't prefer the niteshaded look, I want a smoked-clear lens

I found the front smoked lenses the first try. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...spagenameZWDVW

I searched "firebird smoke"
