thanks but thats reg tint...

autozone or pep boys sell a VHT Nightshades its actual tint in a can and ppl spray their tail lights or whatever they want...i did it on my old car but only held up for like 5 months maybe but looked hot as hell

i know you gota sand them a little bit make sure theres no wax on them then you spray the tint on from left to right or whichever way evenly spraying the tail light keep doing it till its how dark you want....then you gota hit it with clear coat...im just now sure of how much of this should be put on
