Before you do this, check with your local law enforcement and verify that it is legal to do so in your State.

Send them to me, I'll do them for $70+S/H. I wouldn't want you ruining a perfectly good set of lights attempting something that actually took a bit of skill to get right. aws140 has my prototype lights I sold to him and he loves them.

Wow, its easy as hell. I did it and it turned out awesome. Just follow the directions from VHT and your all set. I did put 3 light coats of night shades and 3 good coats of clear with alittle bit of buffing!

Doing the niteshades is the easy part, it's taking the lights apart and fabricating the rest is what's so difficult. I'd tell you how to do it but I could use the money to put into my vehicles to make it back to MD

No worries, if you **** up just us thinner and take it off. I did not even take the assembly out. I taped and masked the whole rear and did it in place. The taoping took longer then appling the paint. It is dull until you put the clear on! No need to change the bulbs, plenty bright. Just make sure you do nice even thin coats. 3 works well! I did take the side lens off and do them on the bench.

1. Clean surface to remove rust, wax, grease and dirt.
2. SHAKE CAN WELL for one minute after ball rattles. Repeat this procedure occasionally during the application.
3. Hold can upright 12 to 16 inches away from surface being sprayed
4. DO NOT cover with a continuous spray, but release the spray tip after each stroke and overlap.
5. DO NOT apply more than 2 or 3 even coats, just to color lense evenly. Allow 6 hours for coating to fully set up before handling.
6.If clogging develops, remove spray button with a twisting motion and clean. DO NOT stick pin or other objects into can. Gently replace spray button with a twisting motion with top of can and spray button opening pointing away from you.
7. Clean spray button immediately after use by turning can upside down and pressing spray button until no paint comes out.
9. For brighter light use a higher ampere bulb.

Oh, I should not tell you this! It's an ancient chinese secret

I'm not saying f--- you to him, it's just easier for me to do them instead of laying detailed instructions that would take longer than me actually doing the lights. I'm a broke FB owner just everyone else here! LOL

Jose Feliciano

I feel you bro I know you are not saying that I always try to do it myself first
and thanks to JOHN

Jose Feliciano

but how do I spray the inside to make it look like GTU tail lights

That's the complex part of it. You just have to think of ideas and practice

tint the out side and spray the inside black.. put round stickers/decals where you want the light to shine thru

It's almost that simple, but requires alot of precise measuring. I'm actually doing another set right now. I've done a few and it still takes alot of time and patience
