Shading the lights

[Preloader]

I like the glossy finish of smoke tint vinyl.

looks great.

however it's illegal to tint the lights in all 50 states.

i know they sell ventshades and such, however they specifically say off road use only on the package. so...dont be surprised if you get pulled over or ticketed.

Everywhere i read online, is that almost anyone that tints their taillights a light shade has never gotten a ticket for that, but if its too dark or blacked out and can't be seen 1000 ft away in the light its illegal... (FL law, idk about your area), but seeing how i want to shade it lightly, and never have done this before, can this be done with plastidip, or would that black it out after a few coats? I really want to use the VHT, but seeing how that would not be a good idea for a first time user, any suggestions?

Here is the best way to tint your headlights for your car. Its a company called Lamin-X and they sell a precut film kit for headlights and fogs at a cost of I think $45. Several different color options and goes on amazingly easy. Hope this helps.

Here's a link to their Sonic items page.

Had it done at a tint shop. The guy said it was taillight tint. 30%. Called smoke tint.

good thought. hate all that chrome on these cars.

How about tinting the chrome trim everywhere with the VHT night shades? How does it stick to the non-sanded surfaces?

VHT is a B*t*h to work with and keep the color consistent so I'd recommend PlastiDip or trying your luck at vinyl wrapping the areas you don't want chrome.
