Default nite shading

Okay so I've used this product on my old truck, my brothers truck, and my friends. Me and my brother done our tail lights and it turned out great. My friend decided to do his headlights and it pitted up and failed major. I want to tint my headlights and like this product. Any idea why it messed up or a just as easy way such as window tint that anyone has found pleasing? Thanks

It could've been he didn't do proper prep work. Or he didn't clear coat it. If you've had no problems before, then you should be fine

don't tinit your headlights, especially with nightshades. For one, it doesn't let much light through and you'll be blind at night, and two, the front end takes a lot more abuse than the rear. It'll chip and scratch easier. Just paint your headlight housing black or buy black housings.

You should just bake them and paint them.
