I've pickup my can of Nite Shades, I'm not sure on how many coats I will do, I don't want them as black as some I've seen. just not so red.

Here's some good videos on how to do this mod.

Canadian Dakota can you still see the reflectors in your tail lights after only 2 coats? So if a cop was behind you at night with his headlights on, or you car was in a parking lot and someone shined their headlights on, would your tail lights reflect back? Thanks.

i pulled the girlfriends car up behind my truck with her head lights on and my lights off dosnt look like a yes

then i remembered that if you get pulled over at night youll prolly have your lights turned on lol

so the reflectros dont show to well but the light shines through im also sitting in the girlfriends grandam in the last two pics. like i said i havent been harrased yet. and i was pretty generous with the two coats. hope this helps also might i add in my sig pic there is no flash on my camera just a fair amount of street lights in the area
