I don't have it on my head lights, or on my tail lights. This is how it looks on the turn signals and side markers though...

Mark,
How exactly did you do that to your turnsignals and sidelamps?

I used it on my side marker lights and was pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I have not seen it on any head lights,but I would think it may be a little to dark for them.

I'm most fond of the clear lenses on black cars and blue cars. I can't help but think that black looks better on everything else.

I like how the clear disapers on white just like how the tinted diapers on the black cars(like the pic above). I do like my tinted taillights though. I just didn't want a little orange or black dot on my fender. I hope this doesn't make me sound mad, I'm not

Yeah, there is something to be said for the "dissapearing light" look (blacked out on black, clear on white). I just don't guess that it's my style. To each their onw, though.

You didn't come across as at all .

How does it hold up over time and with the weather? Do the lights shine through enough? I was thinking of getting clear side markers and trying to spray them with nightshades. That way, if I didn't like how they came out, I still have the factory ones. Also, I think it would be easier to spray the clear plastic than the stock yellow ones. What do you guys think?

If you're just gonna spray 'em, get a yellow junk yard set for cheap. If I remember correctly, the clear ones were pretty expensive.
