tinted lights..NITE SHADES..PICS
so i have been tinkering with this for a while and had a couple of cans of nite shades left over from my old car projects, so i decided to give it a go
for those that dont know Nite Shades is a spray on translucent type film that is perfect for tinting taillights
this looks amazing on a black vehicle, i did it very dark on mine as i didnt want any remains of the red and orange shingin through, at night they are totally fine and shine the original colors

Great mod!
Do you spray the inside of the lense or the outside?
Did you have to tape off the reverse part of the lense?
Is it legal on the rear lenses?
Where can I find Night Shade?

you spray it on the outside
i basically took all the lenses and lights off, masked off the parts that i didnt want to spray and sprayed 4 thick coats on, again, you shouldnt do it this thick
it is a good idea to use clearcoat and then buff them out at the end, but i want them to eventually have a flat look, so i didnt do it
im pretty sure they are illegal, although they are barely darker at night then before
you can find it online, ebay, etc

I just did it to mine about five days ago on a silver rubi, I think It looks awesome. I only did three coats and then three coats of clear to help protect the tint finish.

btw... as far as legallity goes... it will varry per state... but in maryland, what you have is a "technically" illegal
In otherwords, they are kind of both legal and illegal.
So during the day, they don't reflect light unless they blink, and at night when they are on... you cant tell the difference. Its one of them hairline laws that 9/10 cops wont care about unless they stop you for something else.
Besides, they'll probably be too amazed at how nice your jeep looks to think of giving you a ticket
but the worse they can do is give you one of them Moving Vehicle Traffic Citation, (usually $40-50) and/or a Safety Equipment Repair Order.
