I know the parts store sells that nightshade stuff in a red tint. But that's a good bit more expensive then what you used.

What does it look like with the turn signals and reverse lights on?
that would be a concern of mine. Maybe brighter bulbs for the turn signals?
It holds up very well. No fading at all. And yeah that nightshade just seems to ricey to buy and way more expensive. The lights show up great with the signals and the reverse lights. Its just as bright as the tail lights when they're on. You don't need a brighter bulb, the paint is very thin but covers very well. 3 coats is enough and everything is well. The 50/50's are just a bit to ricer for me but it looks good sometimes on coupe, but you'd have to pull it off.

Thanks!! When I got the car the guy had them blacked-out and it wasn't a light tint.....it was BLACK, as well with the side markers too. It took me forever to get that crap off so the lights kinda looked a bit faded and not so glossy, so I went with this alternative and it turned out GREAT. I'm glad I did this, it's something different.
