Default tail lights and fog light tint?

Okay ive wanted to tint my tail lights for a while now but i dont know if i should use night shades or not. Ive heard mixed reviews about the stuff, so what do you guys have to say about it? Oh and does anybody know of any spray tint thats red? I want either my fogs or offroad lights red.

Oh that sounds easier than mixing the clear coat and paint. Hows the quality of the vht stuff.
