Most auto parts stores carry it. If its applied right it works great, just gotta use LIGHT coats!

Any Napa or advanced auto should have it. Make sure to get a good clear coat too. You definitely want to clear coat it to added protection. It's easy to use and works great.

I did it to the tail lights of my 2003 Evo 8 and looks good but make sure you dont go too dark unless you like being pulled over by piggies all the time. I haven't had anything said about mine yet but dont drive it too much anymore. Just race it

You can buy the VHT Nightshades at any auto parts store. If its not in stock, they can order it which around here they always have the stuff ordered the next day. Just do thin coats and let it dry in between until it the darkness you want. Then clear coat it so it looks way better.

Got mine at advance autoparts. I cleaned the light with soap and water, wet sanded with 2000 grit, washed again with soap and water, cleaned with paint remover, washed yet again with soap and water, dried and then sprayed light coats on. Make sure you clean it again after using paint remover cause the VHT will crack...didnt clean it after with my third brake light on my Ranger and learned the hard way.

I did the night shade today and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Maybe I'll try to shine it up more but i like the way it looks
