Thanks for info. Makes me a little shakey cut'en on my Lex. Yours looks good. I bought a '90 LS400 when they first came out and they had chrome tips, looked good. Don't know why they stopped doing that. To save a couple of bucks per car? LOL

Hmm, thanks for the help. I hope the VHT works for me. I gotta wait till the car comes back from the body shop.

But Vic, I like the darkness of the taillights, have you got any heat from the cops during the day? or is it barely noticeable during the day?

NO i had them even darker before...at a distance it looks like you shaved the tail lights but when you step on the brakes it is still bright.....i might even put and other can on each light to darken and smooth it out it is a little rough and a couple of bumps but i am not going to show it off at a competition so i do not really care....... as you saw in the other post i did i mahe eyebrows from vinyl sticker but they came off from taking them off and on becuase of replacing the lights when they burn out...... so i am going to mask off a eyebrow with tape and spary it dark then put a clearcoat and that should be good enough i will have the little gap in between the fog and head light but i save like $200 on getting plastic eyebrows and having to paint them
