    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    no, you DO NOT bake and pull apart your tails. You DO bake and pull apart your headlamps, which is what Tater was referring to, but I believe you were asking about tail lamps.

    I say yes, they look great on any dark vehicle. Its very easy. Get 2 cans of VHT NiteShade from Autozone/Oreilly's/where ever. Get some masking tape, and some 1000grit sand paper. Mask off the reverse light area (this is optional). lightly sand, letting the sandpaper do the work, and you not pressing hard, your tail lights. You will need to put 2-4 coats on, depending on how dark you want. The first coat should not even come close to covering the entire tail lamp. After you allow each lamp to dry 45min, lightly wet sand w/ the 1000grit, let dry 10 min, then apply another coat. repeat this until you are happy w/ the tint. it took mine 3 coats, can still see the slightest hint of red through the black when off, but bright red when applied. Hope this helps!
