It wasn't that difficult to do. just make sure you spray correctly and evenly and do not add too many coats, and make sure that it has plenty of time to dry

I had a shop do it and buff it afterwards. you can still tell that it was there but it is very difficult to see. I'm very glad that I had it done because it looks so much better

I sprayed my 3rd brake light as well. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE LIGHTS THAT YOU WILL BE PAINTING SO THAT YOU DON'T RISK OVERSPRAY ON YOUR PAINT LOL.

It definitely limited how much light shines through the headlights, so i added fog lights that fixed that issue right away. It really looks a lot better during the day and night, but my visibility did suffer so just add fog lights. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions

that's the problem with tinting the lights with that spray stuff. I use the colored clear shield stuff the dealers use for paint protection. I black out my tailights, and third brake light on my excursion and it barely cuts down on being able to see the parking lights/brake lights on during day time. At night it still looks the same as without the film. I only did my headlights in the clear film just to protect them. And the best thing is, if you want to take it off, leave the truck out in the sun on a hot day and peel it off and just use some rubbing alcohol to take of the glue.
