    Hey there. Im looking to see how people have tinted their foglights. Im looking to tint mine a darker color but not sure the best way. I dont really want to use the lamenx stuff because I live in Maine and fear they will not stay on in the harsh winter months. Pics and ideas would be great! Thanks!

    I've used rust-oleum a lot on tail lights and stuff for some friends. Works really well. You can pretty much do it as dark or as light as you want it too

    Screw films and tints... they only reduce your light output. Either get a smoked chrome set of fogs off Fleabay or go this route:

    They don't get much darker than that and they have much better light output vs. stock.

    How do you use the nightshade? Apply then sand, then apply again?

    I don't think you need to sand between coats. You put on as many or as few coats as you want, depending on how dark you want them tinted. Maybe a wet sand at the end for a polished finish before clear coating at most. Wet sanding could give them an uneven tint though unless you do it perfectly across the surface.
