So,does the "Night Shades" let the light shine through as it should?



Not really,it does reduce output greatly.

I like how it hides the clear section for the backup lights...  gives a much cleaner look to it...

I had thought about LEDs too, but will let you young guys figure it out first. :-)))

Does this stuff have to be on the inside of the light, or can it applied to the outside? I have thought about doing something similar to my front turn signals and side marker lights.

You can apply it to the outside but it looks kind of dull-like flat paint compared to gloss paint is the best way I can describe it.

you have to rub the finish out a good cleaner wax works well
