the first coat of nite shades i put on the headlights bubbled up like crazy, i had to sand it all off and start over.. apparently there's some sort of coating on the lights, i could see it as i was wetsanding the nite shades off.. soooo i sanded all of it off with 240 grit then worked up to 800, sprayed a few coats of nite shades on then wet sanded and cleared with urethane clear coat.. 2nd times a charm haha
 


ok the clear coat has cured enough to handle them.. so i put them back on, still have to put the rubber seal back on the headlights, i don't think it hindered the light output that much.. here's a comparison between 12000k in the GP and 10000k projectors in my truck, the projectors obviously look a lot better.. but we'll see once i drive at night

damn should have baked them and tinted the inside of the lens bro once you get chips in that your gonna wish you did.... looks cool tho....
 
weird ive heard that VHT has a red tint to it....when i did the corners of my old lights my blinkers looked red....maybe its because i did mine way darker....

nite shades actually has a purple tint to it.. if you catch it at the right angle u can see it.. this is before wet sanding and clear coat

Looks good for sure...tinting headlights ain't my thing though I like to see at night but to each his own...I say drop it and get some big 'ol black wheels with a polished lip :D
