I blacked out my tailights with Nightshades and then a clearcoat. Looks sick with a silver truck.

Nope. No problems since I did them a few months back. Looks great. They still light up fairly bright with the stock bulbs. I'm going to put LED replacement bulbs later, which might help in brightness as well.

+1 On Nightshade. Just make sure you can afford some downtime, the correct way will take 2-3 days depending on how dark you want them.
