From what I've read I think ill do the clear as well, mines not too dull but the gloss look would be killer.

For Missouri that I know, as long as you see red light from 200 feet your in the clear. I dunno about headlights though... You could do what I did for the head lights (if you didn't already nite shade) and paint the inner housings like this. They were stock before

I personally would rather tint the tailights using a film used for window tinting rather than spray on..looks alot cleaner IMO

Tails lights from a 2010 Super duty. I didnt use the factory style reverse lights. I modified a set of 55w driving lights from Cadillac as reverse lights.
