I do window tinting in Texas and I’ve been asked about this many times. this is probably one of the best instructional videos I have come across thank you
Out of all the videos I have searched this was the most helpful one that made me feel confident in doing my own install. Thanks guys! Much love and respect from Cali!
In my opinion tinted tail lights are easier to see because the red tail lights you can’t really tell when the light is on it’s just a brighter red. I love the look! Had my civic taillights tinted for 3 years never had a problem
This vid covers all bases and whilst I've seen a couple of these how-to's on youtube, this is just so well done. Thanks man. Quite well laid out and made it easy to watch!
I can tell he’s used to telling customers the same thing over to assure the customer everything is cool. I do car audio and I find myself repeating the same stuff for them to wind up asking the same question. Either way, good vid man I’m inspired to do my own now
At first, I didn't think I could do this myself on my 08 HHR SS rear lenses, but after watching your very instructional video, I think I can. I'll have to wait till spring though. Thanks for the video!
I clear coat them with PPG after I nightshade but I have a body shop so that's hard for anyone to do at home but I get a mirror finish after I'm done and I always tape off the reverse lights I like being able to see when I back up at night. But I still like y'alls product it's perfect for the average do it yourselfer.
Exactly it’s all about the effort nightshade can be used effectively and look nice if done right. Most people just spray them and don’t even bother to see if it’s even and just leave it but if you actually but effort into them. Like spraying them then doing a light wet sand then spray a few coats if clear and also do some wet sanding and then polish them. They will come out with a high gloss mirror finish with simple products. But nobody does all that effort so they look all dull and like shit.
david peirce were talking the average consumer who buys nightshade who it’s marketed too. Not everyone has access to professional materials or A booth. Of course the proper way is to have a body shop do it but these steps is for your average garage worker.
I’ve used VHT night shades several times on my cars, if the light looks that nice after you stripped it, the niteshades wasn’t done properly is why it looks so bad, also you’re supposed to clear over niteshades after spraying it, all my lights looked as good or better than tinting the tail light. But I wouldn’t recommend using the niteshades if you aren’t a good painter of auto parts. I checked out this video because I was to try tinting my new cars lights instead of painting so it’s not permanent Great video 👍🏼
You did an excellent job tinting the rear taillights. Two thumbs up👍👍. If you can tint the rear taillights on my 1995 Mercedes SL , I'll ship you the taillights , since I live out of state .
I tried vivids dry application and this film seems a lot more forgiving. The vivid wrinkles a lot and you can’t get enough heat to make it lay nice without burning it. Definitely gonna try this film next
Is there anyway you can show the difference in percentages of tint vs how "blacked out" you're trying to go? This was a very helpful video my man. Many thanks!
I used a spray tint and a semi gloss clear coat and in my opinion it was way better, my taillights have odd indent designs (2003 Ford Escape) and even a weird dip in the plastic. I have them super dark and they still shine through very well. I would recommend if you are worried and have an older car to get brighter bulbs though but stock should be fine
Don’t worry about the internet trolls bringing ya down nice job on the lights an good job getting out there an actually showing step by step very thorough. 2 thumbs up.
I live in Arizona, I spray painted my tail lights with some cheap spray from Walmart & got pulled over 3 days later. I removed the spray paint & had it done professionally & havent been pulled over since. Tail light film is actually legal in Arizona, but your lights need to be seen clearly.
Great video.... Ummm your razor your using to make the cut around the edge of the light... Could you add a squgie/felt type end that the razor blade comes put of as to not scratch and keep the cuts smooth and flowing... As if when you open the trunk it would look a little better... umm kinda like when you spray a car and the jams aren't sprayed... I'll keep your site in mind for my next whip.. Keep up the good work
luke tisdelle it's not good for the taillight though, it's shiny cause of the grease and grease is really bad for taillights, headlights etc.. it eats it out (my opinion shouldn't matter lol)

Joe Patcity I’m I the only one who thought... that’s all of f**king work, when u can clear coat the spray tint and use compound after. Totally agree with you guys👌
first of all this tint job looks awesome. love the result. i was gonna spray mine but im convinced not to now. i have a 01 sunfire (its mine and i like it) and would do this myself. would you recomend using a little water/soap or a bunch on the sticky side at first?
Great diy video . Looks awesome. I'd like to ask what %of tint did you use for the taillights?? Yes I agree looks much better than the spray method for tinting the taillights.
@@maddawgnoll nope, they are actually holes on the taillight. Manufacturers that use a specific plastic added small holes to allow water evaporation from build up, thermal expansion from light heat, and drainage. Usually cheaper made ones or models that were known to have a seal issue due to cheap products had this done to combat the issue without having to do a recall or change the way they built the parts allowing them to keep a lower cost
@@maddawgnoll Maybe do a little research? Try googling and educate yourself a bit. Having worked at a manufacturing plant nearly 20+years. I can assure you especially in older vehicles and many cheaper made production models, a small hole was indeed placed in the two plastic layers for those reasons. It allowed for thermal expansion, as the car ages with cheaper plastics used in tail lights they would break down due to built up trapped heat. This air way allowed air to escape so that when it expanded it would reduce cracking. Next time you goto a car wash pay attention. You'll even see this on alot of new cars still. When it's a beautiful and hot day , a person takes their car thru a touchless car wash, gets home and notices theirs quite a bit of condensation in the rear lights. This small pin hole allows the heat of the light and the sunlight to evaporate the water and allow it to escape. With out this pin hole it would be like a water bottle in sunlight, it continuously condensate on the inside lens without drying possibly shorting out the light. You're welcome for this little bit of factual knowledge. ;)
For those "bubbles", wouldn't filling them in with clear nail polish work to prevent the dimpling effect? Kind of like transparent bondo. Let it dry and smooth it with the clay-bar again.
The nail polish solvent would "fog" the plastic on the tail light. You definitely want the film bonded with the light itself not with any filler between.
What kinda brake cleaner did you take that vht off with ??? And I've never liked vht anyway but if you spray clear over them and not cheap clear it will look a lot better but using that brake cleaner is a great idea there is a lot of chemicals that will completely mess up the lights
Hey, just a question regarding the legality of these. I've been hearing that it's "illegal", but I've also heard it's "legal"... Something about the reflectors in the lights aren't visible. I live in Iowa so it is probably different for california.
Iowa here. I see a lot of cars down here in the southeast that have this tent. Some are even factory. You just can't have them dark like what he cleaned off. Been pulled over and received a ticket for it being too dark. State trooper said I would have been good if you can see the brake light.
Here in MN anything that's on your tail light that didn't come from the factory is illegal. as far as the reflectors in the tail lights... not every car has them some cars like mine have the reflectors built into the bumper separate from the light. Iowa should also have their state statutes online too.
Is it easier to do it with removed lights or do it on the car? I tried first time by removeing them and bringing home, but it took me forever to remove them :D And ofcours I failed at first time because I didnt use water between light and film. Also you remove protective part from both sides before using it on the car or just one side wich goes to the light? Anyway great video, I wish I have seen it before trying to do it by myself.
That tiny spray was applied horribly, I used to use it all the time. It’s basically like painting you have to wet sand and even buff sometimes. I used my homemade headlight restore kit on the tint spray and couldn’t even tell it was sprayed
It's tough when you take the light out because then you need another hand or two to hold the light still as you're using both of yours in the process of applying the film
The nipples can be sanded down and tail light buffed with metal Polish ... Then tint them properly and have no trace left behind ...... Liked and Subscribed ... Great channel
@@splooshkaboom4210 Actually it is. Even the light smoke tint on tail lights in bright sun light reduce the actual visibility of the lights by over 75%. In a shop or dim light setting the difference does seem like a lot, but once you get into bright day light it very much indeed does affect the visiblity. Hence why smoked or tinted headlights and tail lights are illegal on roadways.
@@splooshkaboom4210 I have worked so many wrecks from people not seeing the tail lights it's ridiculous. (The person with the tinted lights is pretty always found at fault as well for altering the visibility of the light)
Is there any kind of spray that will soften this tint up to help with getting it off? My tails are tinted with this vinyl and it's such a PITA to try to get off. It's very brittle and breaks even after using a heat gun to soften up the adhesive..!
Nice job ! I tell you I tried tint on my suburban and that shit isn’t as easy as you made it look ! Got frustrated and just used night shade and came out perfect
This is such a safety violation that you can't get away with in many states. Here in Florida, although statute 316.234 states, "An object, material, or covering that alters the stop lamp’s visibility from 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight may not be placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied over a stop lamp," law enforcement officials overlook it. So, in addition to speed traps to meet monthly quotas, they could meet them much quicker by impounding such vehicles; ditto for the headlights and windows. Folks go for the cool appearance factor and not safety.
There's no way that's 15 more like 30%. That's not dark enough for me personally. My cars black my tail lights need to be as black as the car other wise it looks dumb
I never said it wasn't but personally on a world wide level I don't give 2 shits..... My tail lights being gloss black like my damn paint job isn't effecting the visibility of my brake and driving lights at all. My car is def. illegal for countless things but shit look good though...

I feel that rubbing off the parts that emits the brake lights will do. The nightshade on the outer region will give it a pretty decent fade off effect

illegal in most states. any changes to factory tail lights are just waiting to get a ticket

Prefer stock lights anyway. Easy to see, as intended.
Incorrect. There are visibility laws, so if your lights are visible from the legal distance and they are not some funky color, you're fine.
How would they know. Chevy has dark tinted tail lights from factory
My dad wants this done to his Ford Explorer and the sport models come with pre smoked taillights so I doubt its illegal
If I don't claybar the tail lights will it show on the finished product????
Just don't. As soon as the sun comes out, your lights are invisible, the point of lights is to show light. Not mask it off.
Not even true

Even the light smoke tint on tail lights in bright sun light reduce the actual visibility of the lights by over 75%.

@@willythehero88 you could add brighter aftermarket bulbs that make it zero difference once you tint
@@FullOfMalarky Yes, but of the ones I've seen so far, the lights are dimmer. Safety is not their primary concern; convenience & the cool factor rule.
@@willythehero88 u can see the lights easy lol, if u cant see them u shouldn't be driving
what percentage % of the tint should be use to tint the taillights?
What % is the tint
calvin doan I believe it is 15%
There's no way that's 15 more like 30%. That's not dark enough for me personally. My cars black my tail lights need to be as black as the car other wise it looks dumb
All blacked out taillights is illegal worldwide dude^^^
I never said it wasn't but personally on a world wide level I don't give 2 shits..... My tail lights being gloss black like my damn paint job isn't effecting the visibility of my brake and driving lights at all. My car is def. illegal for countless things but shit look good though...
SRT-10 RAM yeah on my cars haha
I used red tint to tint the indicator part. But now the Amber indicator is now red. How do you get around this? Orange leds?
Throw some tint on that beard man. Its the wrong color....
Just messing around, tail lights look way better!
