    Looking at something like this

    16" x 48" Dark Smoke Tail Lights Film Sheet Overlay Smoked Tint Cover Blackout C | eBay

    Anybody ever use it? I am not looking to do headlights or taillights I want to do my 3rd brake light and my side turn signals and the reflectors in the back

    I've used that stuff for my fog lights once. I prefer using the tint in a spray can after trying both. Im no expert in putting vinyl on, so for me it was a pita. But is does come out nice and shiny.

    Thanks for the response I really don't like Nite Shades because if you screw that up then your lenses are ruined and finding good quality parts for my old 95 is hard to do now days

    I went ahead and ordered this stuff for $9.95 as an experiment and I'll post some results as soon as I get it and install (or attempt to install...lol)
