it worked out great.I didn't follow what was on U-tube and just cleaned the lenses real good. No sanding needed. The front and marker lights are blacked out but didn't want it to look like a ricer . The C-4 really looks good blacked out on the front with a black paint job. Couldn't be happier with the results.

Be careful......Blacked out tail lites and other things may not be legal in your state.

As far as I am concerned, I don't want anything that limits the passage of light through either my headlight, taillight or parking/running light lenses. If anything, I would want them to be brighter. I don't want other cars to have any trouble at all seeing me.

There not for everyone, I like them on my car, It breaks up the all white. And checkout the pics with and without lights. They still let plenty of light through.

BC, Send us a pic and show us how great they look !

The hash marks are looking good Mike! I ordered those, the thick ones and screwed them up so I had to cut them down to a smaller width lol.... Could you please send me a picture with the hood closed, would love to see how it looks like that. Thanks!

I agree......looks good.....BUT.....even in Canada....Check on the leagality. Just because you can buy it, doesnt mean its legal to use on the street.

I have used Nite Shades before the more coats the darker the out come.You can lightly sand when dry to thin it out if you need to.

Anyone see lights sprayed with clearcoat that had black paint added to tint?
