    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

    @rileym2678 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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 👍🏼

    • @tuTWENTY
      @tuTWENTY 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @davidsgarage44

    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

      @@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

    • @joshua7426
      @joshua7426 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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. ;)

      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.

      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.
