Alright, so I guess I won't be buying that film crap.

However, if I buy that Niteshades Tint off of Cobalt-Addiction.com; I can use it for my headlights and taillights?

Haha.

Yeah, I messed up one of my inner tails by putting to much clear gloss.

My suggestion, would go to a junk yard and buy a used headlight housing and practice on that.
