I wouldn't spray the headlights or you will lose lighting. I sprayed my housing on my head lights on the inside (not the chrome or your headlights will be useless, but hte chrome frame around the housing for the light bulb) with a high temp black spray to make it smoked looking. I sprayed the tail lights over the outside, I just took them off the back of the car, layed them on the ground and sprayed them in a sweeping motion with 3 coats and thats how they turned out. Have you ordered/tried it yet? Post pics once your done!

if you want black smoked out then just get some vht nightshades. if you want a dark cherry red/black what you do is go to autozone. get some red metalcast paint made by duplicolor. no one really knows but its translucent. and do alot of coats and it comes out as a very dark cherry red. looks sick man.

also, I recently saw a video of some guys using the niteshade spray on the outside not the inside. I heard it doesn't work that well and that it comes off faster then if you sprayed the inside is this true?

Not true, mine is sprayed from the outside. I sprayed the inside of my headlights with black high temp paint for the chrome around the headlight but the night shades is on the outside. It holds perfect and I have had no issues at all with it coming off or anything. I also recently did my brothers car and same deal, it holds perfect. Just make sure to take some grease remover to them first, then wash with a rag and some soap, dry really well and spray the coats and let them dry for at least a few hours before you put them back on the car and then your in business.
I know what you mean about friends not being into modding, i dont have any either so its hard to learn/ find people to do stuff with, I dont know anyone so it kinda sucks. You jsut go with what you learn online and run with it, but you'll be okay night shades isn't that intense to do.

ok thanks. the putting on the niteshade isn't the hard part for me the hard part is finding where the headlights are connected and taking it off.
