    Do yourself a favor and put a few layers of clear over them once you are done with the VHT.

    2 reasons:
    1. It really glossed the lenses back up, made them very shiny again.

    2. It protects them. If you ever get a small scratch it is much easier to wet sand and re-clear (unless the scratch goes deep) than it is to redo both lights again. Both because if you do 1 it is hard to match the tint evenly again.

    I also placed my tails side-by-side and as I sprayed them i would evenly go across from 1 to the other in wide, long sweeps, ensuring each tail was hit at the same time, in the same place, the same amount.

    Looks like you sprayed your socks too! :p lol On a side note, you did a great job on the taillights. If my truck wasn't red, I would consider doing the same.
