Tried tinting, did fine but the tint was so light it made almost no difference, pissed about that. I don't want to nightshade unless I have to. Why cant I find any covers?

 

just go with night shade easy to do yourself and looks good if you do it right

 

I just have the fear of messing it up, and having to get new tail lights

 

just go by a can of spray paint and practice on wood or something, if you do mess up paint thinner would take it off i imagine

 

because no one wants them. so because no one wants them no one makes them.

 

Tones013 - I have a pair of AVS tail light covers... they don't completely cover the entire tail light but they do kinda black out the sides. You should google an image of them. I don't use them anymore, so if you would like I can give them to you for a very small price.

 

try getting a darker overlay. I've seen some tints done well. You can just get some window tint and cut to fit yourself. Try getting like a 15-20% tint

 

EVERYTIME i have used niteshades and clear coated it. it has faded to a deep cherry red after 6-8 months. my buddy used the rustoleum brand of tint spray and his are nice n dark and still let alot of light through.

 

OH MY GOD SO TRUE! my nightshades ALWAYS fades to some shitty purple colour, I just stripped it off.

 

Car is a little dirty, don't mind that, but I stopped looking for the damn covers, picked up and used the VHT Nightshades. Turned out ok, going to wet sand and maybe a clear coat?

hope legal in your state, cus it aint in texas.

 

Oh its illegal. Its actually brighter in person then the picture

 

Funny. I actually might be moving to Texas next year

 

Just get some K2 smoked LED lights... a little more money, but look better IMO

 

i love my smoked tails, but troopers are on the lookout for them....
they see black and thats it, no matter if its red enough.

oh, and if you move to texas, they wont pass inspection, and that is required in texas, inspection stickers.

 

No night shade. Get them professionally painted. Much better results and lasts along time

It is legal. Just can't be too dark and you have to be able to see red

 

x2 i got a set for sale

 

the lights have to REFLECT RED, not just see red. when you spray anything over them, you are defeating the REFLECTION.

so like i said, its ILLEGAL. go to any inspection station and pass it with smoked tails.

 

I pass all my inspections and the cops in my town told me my lights are legal

 

You don't have to prove anything to me..I've been told that mine are legal and I haven't got in trouble for them.

Oh and my lights do reflect red up to 1000 ft.

 

Ya me too. And it's not like I'm the only one here with black tail lights

 

Omg it depends on how dark they are. If its all black then yes. If you can see the red reflection from a certain distance then they are legal.
