VHT Night-Shades paint is an excellent product for those who want to get that expensive blackened tail light look for cheap. This product is also great for those of us who want that look, but can't find any dealers who make tail light covers for our year and make of autos. Using two light coats of this paint gets a nice, full coverage, and lets the maximum amount of light through when applying the brakes. Because you don't have to use a ton of this paint to get coverage, you can easily do 4-5 cars worth of lights per can of paint. Compairing $13 per can to $35 for covers, and even up to $250 for a full tail light assembly, how can you go wrong?

I used this to tint my truck's camper top windows. I know, not designed for that. But, I wanted a cheap easy way to darken my truck's cap top windows. Years ago you could by spray on window tint. I would never use that stuff (or this stuff) for doing nice windows, but to darken windows you don't care about, it works okay. I couldn't find spray on tint and using black spray paint is too dark. If you want to make it difficult for people to see in to your truck bed through the cap windows and you don't care how spotty it will look from INSIDE the truck bed, this stuff works. It makes the glass just dark enough that I can see out, but they can't see in. It took three coats.

I used spray on tint years ago for this same thing and it worked about the same.
I used black spray paint one time too and that makes the windows too dark that I can't even see out. This stuff does not do that.

The results i got using this product were phenomenal. If you take the time to sand, apply multiple light coats and clear coat, this looks like somethingthat you get straight out of the factory, except the fact that you can chose the darkness you want.

I love this spray on tint! It works really well and unlike most clip-on headlight covers, the light is still able to shine through very visibly! Too dark can lead to a slight change in amount of emitted light, but about 3 or 4 light coats gets you a smokey to dark tint wiht a lot of light transparency

This is definitely dark tint; would recommend light coats. Sprayed the inside of my taillights, so I cannot really comment on quality of finish. Just remember, light coats!

Okay this product came pretty fast and on time like it said.
i used it on my taillights first and its kinda tricky because if you dont put enough it wont be dark enough and if you put too much itll be too dark.

also i tried this on my headlights and from a distance it looks really good, even the guy in the mcdonalds drive thru told me they looked great but when youget really close they have a blue/green tint.

This product is great if you cant find light covers for your car. Just spray on like normal spray paint and let dry for an hour and its done. So easy

Very simple, looks great on the lights. The company says the spray is already glossy so no need for clear coat but wanted more gloss so did a clear coat gloss over top. I think it needed it.

This is great stuff. It will completely black out your lenses and still allow light to get through fine. I used it on my motorcycle lense covers. The approach is pretty simple and works great if you just follow some simple steps:
- remove and tape off if needed
- clean thoroughly
- sand to allow VHT to stick. I recommend a very fine grit (I used 1200 grit).
- apply coats very thin; 1 coat is enough, but 2 coats will get you completely black
- apply a clear coat
- buff and polish
- reinstall
This stuff truly is a great and cheap way to black out your lights. Make sure you want black, because they will look completely black.

Used them on 4 tail lights for my Honda and it works great. I followed the videos on youtube by wet sanding it and then finally clearcoat on last step. The lights look like glass. Great products. Haven't tested the lights on my car yet but will be back to see.
