Ok so I really love the smoked headlight and tail light look, and a bunch of guys at work were telling me about Niteshade and how it works great.
Has anyone here used the product and did it work well?? Pictures?

and would it would with this set of tail lights, would I be able to smoke the whole thing or do you have to leave the clear?

Niteshaded tail lights/3rd brake light - 2 coats of Niteshades, 2 coats of clear. The product worked pretty well, you may want to clear coat it as well, because it does not come out glossy.

I covered over the reverse lights and cargo lights with the Niteshades, it's not bad at all with only 2 coats.

 

great result!
just what im looking for, only a little darker :)

 

DO NOT shade your headlights please. Instead, get those black housing lamps off ebay. Similar to the headlight mod on the 01+ trucks.

 

haha why not shade the headlights?

 

Safety and the fact that they are niteshaded headlights....stupid idea in my opinion. Output is greatly reduced, being seen by oncomoing traffic is greatly reduced....it's just stupid and unsafe.

 

yeah good call man, i'll just smoke the tails and get new headlights. because im really not diggin my headlight setup lol

 

Here's some ideas....

You could probably save on shipping by sending the lamps to a friend across the border too.

 

those are sweet!
well i can get free shipping bcuz I can just get my work to order them in :)

 

id recommend leaving the clear. You gotta be able to see in reverse somewhat.

 

On Ebay they've got Red Nightshade.....I'd red the amber section, then niteshade the entire thing. Worth a shot. And if it fails, niteshade comes off taillights using laquer thinner...so you can start over if you wanted.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking, thanks for clearing it up :)

 

ya i forgot about redding out the amber. makes it look so much better.

 

 

Chris, did you clear over those? they look kinda dull.


stock tails on left, mine nightshaded on right(before clearcoat.)

 

nah I still need to wet sand em, I kinda like the flat black tho

 

alright so i did the first coat, went alright. my buddy was a moron and there was a bit of overspray that i have to deal with... but it looks nice i think :)

 

Those look good, I did 3 coats on mine, and like 6 clear coats.

You shoulda let me know, I got 3/4 of a can thats going to waste here.

HINT: Take it off the truck, its like 2 screws.

 

tails are sold...looked good but but not my taste...

 

Mine:

 

wow thats an awesome result man!
good stuff. yeah i will finish them up this weekend and make em darker for sure + clearcoat, what did you use for the clearcoat??

 

Here's mine before i cleared them and wet sanded them. I love the way they look.

 

yea yours also looks good there tman.
good stuff. i love niteshades :D
