Nite shade

hey so how good will the light shine through if u use this? does anybody have any daytime pics with their brakes on? reason i ask is because i was thinking of doing my tails but i dont want em to be super dark like the black out covers because it is reallly hard to see them during the day thanx

I can try on my next day off, if my Dad will let me borrow his digital camera. Mine's still going through all the warrenty crap to get it fixed. I warn ahead of time: Don't be shocked by Mayhem's appearance in the pic.lol Steelies, no wing, and possibly by that point, the body work will have begun(should be this Mon & Tues. that it starts)

I went though some old pics, and found this one. It was pretty far away. Its not the brakes, though, just had the parking lights on in that pic.

I know but I was saying that if you can see the running lights that well in the day.. And the brakes are brighter than the running lights im sure you will be able to see them as well.. You know what I mean?

Also Danielle if you ever wanted to remove the black is it possible?

Let's put it this way, I'm going outside right now to take pictures of mine, and mine are a lot darker than hers (I think I did somewhere between 10-13 coats)

ok.







My passenger side parking light has a bulb out, my passenger headlight is burnt out, and the driver side of the third brake light is burned out.
