ive used nite shades on numerous vehicles with various results. the tails on my Z came out really well, just a little too dark but i havent gotten pulled over yet. i did the tails on my explorer too and theyre really dark too and ive had cops behind me and never got stopped. on my explorer though i didnt do the reverse lights so i guess its not as noticable. my Z i did the whole lens so its probably just a matter of time, ill worry about it if and when it happens.

I did the tail lights, 3rd brake and side markers too. Also did the front corners, but I think they may be too dark. Hard to see them with the turn signal on. Love the look of it.
