VHT nightshade is garbage... DO NOT USE IT.... only a handful of guys I know had any luck with it... but it will wear off and look like crap after a short amount of time even with good prep work....

I took mine to a body shop and had my taillights blacked out and my head lights smoked and they did an awesome job... and not that expensive

I used VHT on my taillights, looks pretty good, but could look better, I'm cheap. Actually i got a citation a week ago for having "Improper Equipment" the cop felt like he could not see my reflectors well enough. Oh well.

Covers will last, but just like anything, its a cheap route to go.... I am sorry but I am not cheap... I dont try to save a couple bucks here and there by going at something halfassed (no offense to anyone)... saving money is good, but Id rather pay to have it done right to do it once and not have to redo something later... having a body shop paint them isnt too expensive... it'll cost less to black out your taillights and 3rd brake light than it would to buy a set of Recons... for sure...

I use covers on my 06. I personally wouldnt spray tint the front headlights. IMO if you can find covers they work fine!
