First off lemme say, NIGHTSHADE IS AWEFUL. I tried it, and it completely ****ed up my lights. I tried using paint thinner to take it off, and not only did it not work, but in my ignorance i used a ton of paint thinner and its cracked the hell outa my lights. And these were brand new lights that replaced my cracked ones from my crash. Soooo i had to order new lights (again), so i got the smoked clear corner lights with the white bulbs from american muscle. Not only is it high quality light, but the standard shipping got here in only 2 days! Free shipping and 5% off for being a member here = a sick deal. Thanks for being awesome AM.

its like spray paint made for spray tinting your head and tail lights. Ive heard good things but the outcome is horrible. And hardly any light shines through even with few coats.

Lol, thats what my dad said. He was kinda upset, but i think he took it pretty well since i let him explain how "painting is an art, and i should expect to get it right the first time". And im very happy with my new lights, and bulbs!

Hey, thank you HHH.  This is the type of lessons the rest of us can learn from.  Word of mouth is a very important part of satisfied (or dissatisfied) customers and doing business.

Oh most deffinitally. I had the tints from Autobadges, and i took them off my tail lights cuz i was gunna spray those two, and i really regret that. The autobadges vynls for the lights are simply nothing short of perfect. They may be 65 a set, but its worth every penny. And if American Muscle has any part im looking for again, im 100% going to them first. Im a very happy customer

Hey hippo, did the lights come with additional plastic brackets?  Does the light rattle around also?

I've used it for years on many cars and had great results. It's just like painting, it's all in knowing what you are doing. Especially if you follow the instructions "wraaaa" linked. I don't sand the shine down on my taillights though, I've always done them shiny and I like the outcome better. You have to be light with the coats, and let it fully dry between coats.

First off, i took the vynls off because i wanted them darker, but ended up not spraying them at all. Iv heard nightshade works alot better if you spray the inside of the glass/plastic to, or else it turns out how mine did. I didnt know what the hell i was doing and it showed . And my lights didnt come with any extra brackets or anything, but they fit perfectly. Im suprised though, i like my head and taillights better not tinted though lol, funny how that worked. Im to slow minded to bother using nightshades, so i might try putting on the vynls from autobadges on sometime, i have them just never put them on. I might even buy another set for the rear lights. But i cant figure out if i like it better smoked or not.

You mean the black ring that you twist on and it holds the light bulb in?
