I know did i mention I was mildly retodded. sorry to the op i'm an impatient f#$khead.

 

between vht and paint or primer and paint//Or the vinyl is it me or would it be better flat vinyl not glossy as shown. flat may just look better imo but yeah fiber and the big bucks seems the way too go on this one

 

Aiden, as your cohort in the effort of building the ultimate dodge ram(blacked out that is)Im advising you to only get the top.

Haha do what you want man...I think it looks goofy as heck, but to each their own. If you black out your lights, you cant even really see them (as my most recent pictures show)

Rocket, AP is adhesion promoter (Bullydog, $15-$20/can). You dont have to sand the lens with the tape downs. Its will turn out better for a little more than the same price with the tape down ebay ones. Im trying to get as much info in a few posts as I can, because as Dirty said, this is someone elses thread.

A can of dealer match paint is like $18 for a 5oz can (at my dealer). My local auto paint shop quoted me at $24 for a 12oz match can.
Ebay Eyelid-So say ~$20 basecoat,~$6 clear, $40 ebay eyelid= ~$65 (and its removable)
Paint on (match)- ~$5 sandpaper, ~$15 Adhesion promoter, ~$8 primer, ~$20 basecoat, ~$6 clear=~50 in supplies (permanent)

see my logic?

 

crystal clear coat clear thanks you made my decision easier

 

If any of you decide to do the VHT lids the process is the exact same as the tails. I have pics of when i did mine the first time and I didnt think they were dark enough so i used brake cleaner and took them back down to bare plastic and redid them.
heres what mine looked like the first time. as you can see the top edge of the silver backing shows through pretty easily. and the amber strip was visible too. so i redid them.


here are what mine look like with VHT Niteshades and CLEAR coat ONLY. no AP. this is the second time I did them.

 

and if you look at the pic in my sig you can see the amber strip showing through the VHT when its lit up. my sig pic has the darker version of the lids on them.

 

Now thanks bleech I'm all out too the napa store vht/clear coat gonna leave the amber strip. what can I say old school truck driver I actually like it....lol

 

whats the amber strip? i dont see that on my truck so where do you get it from or make it like that? im gonna use the VHT spray tint i have left and get some clear coat for it and do what you did.. how thick did you make the bottom strip? i think the black will look good even tho my truck is silver everything else is black

 

Circled in red are your "Amber Strips" they are only on the 06 year head lights, 07-08 they deleted them *cheer*
