kinda regretting the headlights, but saw where you can remove the tint... Might try removing the tint just around the low beam spot... See what that looks like... Or just remove it all... I've been thinking about getting a new set of headlight housings because the ones I have are faded.
btw... This stuff = amazing!

yeah, I'll be removing the tint off the headlights. It was done out of curiosity mostly.  I do like the tail lights. I didn't do it properly (was in a rush), but I do like the way it looks. So I'll be stripping what's on there and doing it the correct way. Can't wait to get it done! Thinking about leaving the 3rd brake light the way it is...
Question. Is it possible to separate the tail light lens from the housing? I'd like to do some LED work for brake lights. |

yeah. I knew someone else did the same thing on the tail lights. I liked it as well as leaving the reverse lights not tinted. So I combined it. As for removing the tint, I saw where you can use Goof Off or gasoline. Both remove it, but I think the goof off leaves the lens a bit blurry. I believe there is another step involved to make it shiny again. The gas would just need to be cleaned off afterwords.

just for comparison... this is 2 1/2 years later with 3 light coats of vht and 3 coats of clear... for prep work all i did was wash the lenses and used some rubbing alcohol before spraying. there was no sanding etc. done as this is my winter beater and at the time i was just playing around with the stuff!!!
