Heres mine at night and one during the day when i finished the last coat of clear and was waiting for it to dry to buff it. will take more tomorrow. Done it to led euro tails, theres a reflector in them that shows up perfect from a camera flash lol but they are totally black minus reverse lights. Used two thin coats of nightshade and one thick. Then the same for the clear coat but had to get the nozzle about 3 inches from the light to get it on thick enough to shine. Overall im very impressed and just for kicks my new kmc xd spys.
