This is how I spent my day! Took off the tailgate and hardwired the led bar to the trailer plug (has reverse there already) and then did 6 coats of nightshade and 4 of clear on tails and 3rd brake light

Damn, 6 coats of nightshades... do u get any light through at all? Lol doesn't look bad but I've done 3 coats on a set 87 firebird tails and that was dark and suffered light output. I did 2 coats on my 3rd on my 14 ram to match my OEM LED tails tint.

Interested to see pics of the light bar and how it looks working.

Honestly not worried about light went all looks the main light will be from the light bar, I'll get pics when it's not hailing haha. But yeah still got decent light during the day

Looks great! It definitely needs those lights tinted. I would've done the same thing if I would have bought the one I looked at. Now you need to paint the exhaust tips black to match.

Do I have to do anything special to do that, painted lots of car parts before but never exhaust
