Smoke your brake lights?

I love how the GTAs and the Trans Ams have blacked out tail lights, and I want to do that to my Camaro. I have a spare set of lenses. Can you tell me how hard to this would be?

Get some VHT Nightshade. That's your best bet, for keeping the stock lights, but tinting them. And you can decide HOW dark you want them.

Re: Smoke your brake lights?

Any chance you can show me some pictures of this stuff?

Also, what color would my turn signals and my brake lights come through?

Any one done this to a teal car?

VHT Nightshade

It only tints things darker. It won't change the color. Red just becomes a darker shade, amber becomes a darker shade, etc.

Actually, only 2 now. And I wouldn't mind selling those, & my current tires, to buy a new, wider pair of rear tires. And/or my 4 extra crosslace wheels.
