Am I The First 3rd Gen To Night Shade My Tail Lights?

Doubt it, but here they are.

First picture is after the first sanding and application of night shade.



Second picture is after gloss, second sanding, and application of compound, plastx, and synthetic sealant.

 

spray on tint?

 

Ya, basically.

 

Make sure you don't become the first 3rd gen that gets rear ended because you "night shaded" your tail lights...

 

I tested then out after I finished. If some one rear ends me they're blind. If you ever used night shade before you would understand.

 

Got any pics of them on the truck!?

 

Was dark when I finished. Will tomorrow..

 

I would be interested to see these installed on the truck, and pics of them at night and day with brake lights applied. I've seen a few vehicles around town with them, and during the day in full sun it's really hard to see the brake lights. It may have just been the way the guy around here did it on his car, but YMMV.

 

I'm assuming most people just spray it on without much thought. I went through the full process. Wanted to put two coats on but I put a third on last second which they say is the max. I know people just spray that shit oh thick. I did back in the day. One step install. Spray night shade. This took me 5 hours.

If is too dim in the day still, just put in leds.

 

I like the blacked out look on the rear end! The lights look better lit up than most here were expecting I'm sure lol.

 

So it looks like they are only as bright as the license plate lights...

Looks illegal to me

Isn't that the point?

 

We did this to my wife's truck, but ended up sanding it off. We decided to have my brother in law paint the tail lights with a tinted clear instead. They came out darker but more transparent. I'll take a pic tomorrow

 

Probably is illegal. But they are plenty bright. At night. Will see tomorrow in the sun. If not leds on the way.

No more illegal then an exhaust. or window tint. Which is glorified around here. Our how about all the warranty disabling lifts. Can't say I don't want one but it's a circle jerk of how big of tires can fit on there 2 inch spacer lift. I don't really mind getting shit, but I also like to point out the obvious.

 

I forgot I have one of my truck were her's came out too

 

Nothing on



Brakes on



Didn't get one with the blinker on but it's a little brighter then the brakes.

I might get leds just to be on the safe side, but it seems bright enough to me.It's harder to tell through picture.

 

If someone rear-ends you during the day, it's because they're not paying attention.

I did mine as well. I didn't do any gloss though

 

I hope you're the first. It's dangerous as fuck. Plus it's illegal depending on the state.
