I Want To Tint My Tail Lights?

A Friend Of Mine Used To Have This Stuff Called Night Shade? I Think. It Was Like A Spray On Tint. It Worked Really Well. Well I Cant Find The Stuff Anywhere. Any One Know Where I Can Get Spray Tint?

You can use this paint. Tint paint . It is use to tint the windows of RC cars so it bonds to plastic well and I beleive it is the same paint in the DIY for tinting tails. Hope this helps.

Would tinting the taillights make the car fail inspection? Has anyone went to inspection with tinted tails before?

you can get nightshades at www.summitracing.com or at any local speed shop, it is usualy around $15 for the can... As far as inspections, I did my buddies firebird out here in Il and he passed w/o any problems... O and a tip for tinting the tails, when you are done tinting, I suggest using engine enamel that you can get at napa for clear coat, it is super shiney! I used some car clear and it looks so dull, then I used the enamel and it was super shiney like the paint!

OK, got the link for you on summit...
um ok, n/m that doesnt work.... *sigh* well any ways the search function of summit sux. that is why you need the catalog for part numbers, and lucky for you I am a member... the part number which you just plug into their search bar is VHT-SP999 and it will take you straight to product, I think the price was like $12.99
