lol now thats a new one for me rofl..... but yea i have finished the tint yesterday. i found a local shop that had carried VHT niteshade and it turned out great. i am going to post some pics later today that will show you what they look like in the day time and at nite (with the light on and off). and in my opinion if any of you guys wanna do this i highly suggest VHT niteshade. i love the way it turned out. but i will let the pic talk for them selfs. so pics will be coming soon.

VHT niteshades is terrible. I've tinted my fair share of tail lights and VHT does a poor job at overall tint shade controlling. It also doesn't fair well over time unless you use a clear coat.

spend the extra cash and get Van's tint spray. you will most likely have to order it online but its definitely worth it.

ok here we go snapped a few pix while at work

tinted lights on my 03 sazuka blue

before




after








lights are a little darker than i hope but i like them, gives it a meaner look imo. also running lights are still visible (dim but visible) but brake like is nice and bright.

will be upgrading all bulbs to LEDS to help out.

also the headlights will be gettin brows done and side markers also smoked

tell me what you think

IMHO... I don't like tinted headlights or tailights. But that's just me. So I say don't do it! Leave it the way it is!
