Smoked Headlights

Ok, so i know a lot of people smoke their tails, and some even smoke their headlights, but it's hard to get them really glossy, plus you have to worry about weather and what not. has anyone tried taking the headlights apart and smoking the inside? i think that would solve some problems. just a thought.

I think that would work, but vinyl would be much easier. I was worried about them peeling off at first, but I had mine on all winter with many, many car washes and there still holding strong.

WHAT????

I think I got the main point of that...Just becuase the shop had troublr doesn't mean everybody would...try it, if it's too hard, peel it back off.
