That's the with Nite Shades on and I'm that there is some way you can mess up, but it's just how you well you are able to spray as many coats on there as you want. I was 17 when I did mine which was 3 three years ago and and it was pretty easy for me so it's not that hard and I think it's pretty hard to mess up.

I've been pulled over once by the pissy state patrol, but other then, I have been pulled over by for something like tabs and the cop has said nothing. I don't know if they are considered like taillight covers or not, but I'm nut sure

it is technically illegal, but most cops won't bother writing you a ticket for it.
personally, I prefer the funtionality of people being able to see my tailights from FAR AWAY to having the light output reduced.

Btw, I got mine on ebay for $12 which was the cheapest I could find online.
One can should be enough but maybe buy 2 do be safe

do you notice the first letter of every word is in caps and the rest is not? that means you're typing in all caps.

I don't know if this is any cancellation, but ever since I got pulled over, I drive with the parking lights on while on the highway so that there is some red showing through, kind of way to make sure if any cop does see them, he won't see the tinted taillights, just some parking lights that are a little bit dimmer and i'm sure they won't even think to notice
