Blacking out headlights and tail lights!

So I want to black out my head and tail lights but all I can find is how to black them out in the inside on the chrome part. I don't know if that owuld really look all that great.

 

I was looking for more like a window tint kinda style on the actual lense it self.

 

Any suggestions? All I could find on google was painting the chrome on the inside black.

 

I have black high temp engine paint and black primer already.

vht niteshades

 

wash, scuff, wash, spray layers, add more layers for darkness

Scuff as in use sandpaper? I really don't trust my self sand papering headlights lol. I really don't feel like telling the story. Lets just say I had to get a new drivers side head light a few weeks back

 

Spray on the inside of the lens or outside?

yeah, get some 1000+ sandpaper.. and scuff it up so the stuf'll stay there nicely//

 

spray the outside.. may want some HIDs to counteract the darkness tho

you could use window tint too. i have seen people use it on tails with good results.

i tried that on my dads suburban and it was like a mini september 11th

How much would a thin coat effect brightness?

a thin one shouldnt be too bad.. but still probably noticeable with halogens

I got the sylvania ultras brights. They are bright as hell. Do auto shops carry the VHT NiteShade?

thats what i did, ass

 

but shit i think walmart has it.. shouldnt be too hard to find..autozone and the like..

 

what i planned on doing (someday) was getting another set of headlight protectors and tinting them pitch black, or painting them black with the rest of my car.. so i can have the look, but take em off or put on the eyelid ones when i need light

I'd probably kill for a se6 of morettes still

I bought the VHT nightshades at the local Pepboys. Be aware it doesn't come out too good if you live in an area of high humidity.

Window tint.

So what would look better? VHT Niteshade somewhat light coating on the outside or a to paint the inside of the head light?

depends... you cant paint all of the chrome in the headlight or else the light wont project onto the road,

 

give it a few shades of vht and you should be pleased

Yeah I took the light apart today and said f it for painting the chrome in the head light.

 

Picking up some VHT shade tomorrow. Will post pics! I painted the grill black and rims black. I love it

Final result of the front end. Yay? nay?

Looks okay but kinda cloudy

how hard was it to take light apart

Looks okay but kinda cloudy

 

That headlight was screwed from the start. It actually looks clearer then it did before.

 

Angle also didn't help.

I sorta like the look; you can polish up the plastic outside part that's been exposed to the elements and stuff w/a good 3M kit. unless you wanted to get new headlights and try the process again, I can guarantee that as long as you take your time with it, the kit makes them look like brand new! I've gotten 3 of them so far

The light was warped or something bad. I tried the meguairs kit and the 3m kit. Didn't do much for the driver head light.
