How To: Taillight and headlight corner tinting

i just recently tinted my taillights and headlight coners with this product called Nightshades spray on tint translucent paint...

Step 1: remove two philipshead screws and 10mm nuts holding the outer and inner lighting units and unplug sockets as neccesary...(lights are held in fairly snug and need some wiggling to take off)

Step 2: clean the surface with windex or a good glass cleaner and 70% alcohal solution works good getting grease or sutt off the lens

Step 3: Take the NightShades paint and spray 10-12 inches away untill a light shade appears, let dry and shake can vigorously for one minute then re-apply, this time, apply a rather noticable coat.

Step 4: Apply up to 4 coats for maximum shade and let dry for 1 hour ( preferably in the sunlight in temps of 70 degrees or more)

Step 5: re-assemble lighting units and test for currect coating and visability ( re-coat if needed)

Step 6: Enjoy your sportier lookin ride

headlight corners: tape off selected area and apply these steps but make sure to newspaper these areas!
