Then i let them sit overnight and the next day buff the tail lights to the darkness I want. If there light I do it by hand if dark i use my buffer with a wool pad on 1000 rpm. Mine look like glass. I have never used clear and had no fading issues. Although VHT has never worked well on headlights for me.

Here are a few examples of cars ive done with VHT.






nice black maxima.

Tinted headlights are gonna look cheesy anyway, just tint your tails for now. I prefer tint but Nightshade can look just as good.
true that tinted headlight would be cheesy but mista0406 is right about what matters most is the applier.. GL

theyre perfect to me. without light on them they match the paint, but once the sun hits them they reflect nicely.
