Has anyone that has used nightshades used in on there headlights? I know there are a bunch that have used it on side markers and some on tail lights.

2nd question has anyone removed it with success?

I have also seen VHT window tint that is not as dark as nightshades.
Anybody used this?
Thanks

I did that few days ago. Only did 3 or 4 coats though. Still very light.

On my third gen I had to do about 4 coats to get it to match my paint. It hasn't faded yet and it's been about two years since having them on. My only complaint is that you'll have to get a higher wattage bulb because it restricts alot of the light. But they look good. BTW if you have a silver car (not sure of the 5th gen colors) I suggest you talking to awsm66 (?) because he can do a very good tint job plus Nightshades come out too light or too dark. But in my case since my car is black it was alright.

Before letting it set too long you can use rubbing alcohol or paint thinner.
