if you have used VHT nite shade and you want to remove it..dont bother wet sanding, it does nothing...AT ALL. All you need is a white terry cloth and some paint thinner. soak it in paint thinner and wipe off the VHT like nothing. it slides right off the light. once its all off, go over the lights with a wet cloth, then dry, and apply a small amount of wax and just buff it off real good. not once have i seen "paint thinner" mentioned to remove VHT so i thought id let you all know...it worked.

 

Most of the people that use VHT Night Shade tend to add a bit of clear coat over it though

 

it'd probably work just as good even if someone applied clear coat..


I never tried paint thinner, i just wet sanded some integra headlights i sprayed with yellow tint stuff.

 

Wow, props for going out of your way to share this info, great job!

 

u must have hated it on ur 97 tails

 

lol nah i loved it...but "oops" seeped through the cloth i layed over the taillight when i was removing the lexus badges and it left the grossest looking melt look...so i decided to remove it and im now looking into vinyl.

 

If you go w/ a vinyl type tint you may go for a less dark shade. That would give it more of a smoked look and still be able to see some of the 97 tail-ness under the tint.

 

any suggestions on where to get some vinyl tint? and how hard is it to put it on?

 

vinyl FTW!!

Uncut sheets are at the bottom. I'm not going to guarantee this is the lowest price but I've ordered from them before and they're good
