Front turn signals/bumper lights, rear turn signals and backup lights... AE headlights will come later since I have to bake them to take them apart

I used nite shades on my bumper lights and clearance lights and it came out purple and had LOTS of cracking. I am not sure what I did. I am just glad I have a spare set. What did I do wrong?
