Default Nite Shading?

Prolly a dumb question but what the hell im bored. If i would nite shade my fog and turn signals for the front would you still be able to see them? I mean during the day or night for that matter. Or would that be a real bad idea? Just wondering what it would look like. and is it possible to take off if i do, do it and it doesn't work?

thanks

As long as you don't use too many coats they will be fine. I bought some Niteshade spray but ended up having them sprayed with automotive clear mixed with a little black. Here are the tailights. I'll take some pics of the front signals and post tomorrow.

Its your choice to do the fogs, but IMO I would stay away from Niteshading your fogs! Cuts the visibility down dramatically! Your turn sigs however, will light up just fine during the day and at night! I have Niteshaded all of my exterior lenses except for the Headlights and Fogs (for obvious reasons):












At Night:

i've nightshaded my corner lenses and they look good during the day, but shine brownish during the night, because the corner lenses are yellow. if i were to do it again, i would niteshade clear lenses

I Niteshaded my corner lenses and they don't shine brownish at all at night! If you were to do it again, you could always switch out your stock bulbs in your turn signals with Amber LED's. A buddy did it to his Z28 and it looks like stock at night....but they are blacked out during the day or when the lights are off!


Just throwing some suggestions out there for ya!
