Exactly it’s all about the effort nightshade can be used effectively and look nice if done right. Most people just spray them and don’t even bother to see if it’s even and just leave it but if you actually but effort into them. Like spraying them then doing a light wet sand then spray a few coats if clear and also do some wet sanding and then polish them. They will come out with a high gloss mirror finish with simple products. But nobody does all that effort so they look all dull and like shit.

I’ve used VHT night shades several times on my cars, if the light looks that nice after you stripped it, the niteshades wasn’t done properly is why it looks so bad, also you’re supposed to clear over niteshades after spraying it, all my lights looked as good or better than tinting the tail light. But I wouldn’t recommend using the niteshades if you aren’t a good painter of auto parts. I checked out this video because I was to try tinting my new cars lights instead of painting so it’s not permanent Great video 👍🏼

@@maddawgnoll nope, they are actually holes on the taillight. Manufacturers that use a specific plastic added small holes to allow water evaporation from build up, thermal expansion from light heat, and drainage. Usually cheaper made ones or models that were known to have a seal issue due to cheap products had this done to combat the issue without having to do a recall or change the way they built the parts allowing them to keep a lower cost
@joshua74265 жыл бұрын
@@maddawgnoll Maybe do a little research? Try googling and educate yourself a bit. Having worked at a manufacturing plant nearly 20+years. I can assure you especially in older vehicles and many cheaper made production models, a small hole was indeed placed in the two plastic layers for those reasons. It allowed for thermal expansion, as the car ages with cheaper plastics used in tail lights they would break down due to built up trapped heat. This air way allowed air to escape so that when it expanded it would reduce cracking. Next time you goto a car wash pay attention. You'll even see this on alot of new cars still. When it's a beautiful and hot day , a person takes their car thru a touchless car wash, gets home and notices theirs quite a bit of condensation in the rear lights. This small pin hole allows the heat of the light and the sunlight to evaporate the water and allow it to escape. With out this pin hole it would be like a water bottle in sunlight, it continuously condensate on the inside lens without drying possibly shorting out the light. You're welcome for this little bit of factual knowledge. ;)
