          you can order some online at several car sites like afterthoughtsauto.com or ebay, or the easiest thing is go to your local auto store and they can order it for you if they don't already have some in stock. pretty easy.

            Yes, Niteshades is an excellent choice. I've had good results with niteshades. Mine was done by a body shop with a mix of clear and black, but that's essentially what Niteshades is. You can find it at some autoparts stores, but not really all that likely I've found. eBay has it for about 12-15 bucks a can. One can will do at least 3 or four cars.

                  Thank you!

                  Leaving the reverse light white doesn't look all that great on 97+ lights because it doesn't follow the body lines. Unless you buy some 93-96 tail lights like Baller did, I'd just do the whole things black.

                          Eyeball it. Depends how dark you want them, but I wouldn't put more than 3 or 4 coats because it's going to start reducing the perceived brightness of the lights.

                              What kind of prep is needed for tail lights before spraying with VHT aerosol can?

                              Hey Schlotzky, how do you like your new tires? Brand, model size, price?
