How to Tint Your Tail Lights with VHT



How to Tint Your Tail Lights with VHT

This is a two part video series on how to tint your tail lights with VHT. It is sped up to show you the details but in essence the procedure appears to be this:


  1. First sand the exterior of the tail lights so they are completely scuffed up. 
  2. Paint thinner or alcohol used to wash off the lights so that the particles from the sanding are removed.
  3. Use the VHT NIght Shade to Spray the Lights.
  4. After Spray the Night Shades use a CLear Coat
  5. You're Done

Products Need to Tint Your Lights with VHT Night Shade


As you can see from the video and the descriptions, the process to black out your head or tail lights is pretty simple. In essence, you only need the following:

  • Fine Sand Paper
  • Alcohol or Paint Thinner
  • VHT Night Shade
  • Clear Coat

Spray Tint versus Tint Films


Some of the advantages to spray tint are obvious and include a truly factory look and completely black-out head or taillights. Yet, in my opinion, the disadvantages far outweigh the pros.

With sprays you must destroy the lights in order to tint them and if you mess up the job there's simply no going back. With the films you can simply remove the tint at a later date and preserve the value of your car and the lights. In the end the choice is up to you but caveat emptor!
