I did mine, very easy to do. Save yourself some money and feel proud....


[1] Remove taillights
[2] Wash with warm soap and water, degreaser soap of some type
[3] Taped off back up lights using automotive performance 3M green tape (has finest paint line) if you want reverse not to be tinted.
[4] Soft wet sand with 400 grit paper. You want to insure you sand all areas, nothing should be shinny, light should be hazzy when done. No need to sand hard.
[5] Wipe with clean rag so remove all dust.
[6] Applied 4 "light" coats of VHT NightShade (Pep-Boys carries this for around $12.00) waiting 20min between each coat. The more you do the darker it will be and you can always go back and do more coats if you want. Start with 3 coats.
[7] After finial coat I waited 2 1/2 hours then wet sanded with 1500 grit paper
[8] Wipe with clean rag and insure all is dry
[9] Applied 3-4 "heavy" coats of Krylon Fusion for plastic Clear UV. You can use others but this was my preference. After the first 2 coats I let it dry for about an hour and wet sanded again with 2000 grit.

All items were purchased at Pep-boys with a total of $37.98. Total time took about 6 hours.

After the lights curried over night, close to 24 hours, I grabbed the mini bullet polish bit and threw some plastic polish on them and gave them a double shine.
