 ok i have a question...
how do you smoke your headlights/taillights?
i understand how to take the lights themselves out...
but how do i go about smoking/tinting them..
i heard about the baking thing but i have no idea how to do that...
so any tips?

 just spray them or use the overlay. No need to bake them...

 yeah i thought about just spraying them..
but it would look a LOT better doing the inside, no?
i hear people have problem with the clear coating...
and i've always had problems with overlays.. =[
so like my previous question....
anyone know how to bake them?

 take all the screws and bulbs off. put it in the oven for 15mins at 275*F. take it out and pull apart.

edit: I just realized that you want to spray tint your headlights. I really don't recommend that because they will chip. Tails will be fine if you spray but I would overlay the fronts.

 i only painted the ecterior on mine and it came out pretty sweet, i just lightly wet sanded sprayed a few coats till the desired shade was reached then buffed it out lightly with a small orbitor, did not have to apply clear, because the tint i used had it mixed in it already..and now just to maintain the shine and smoothness i just wax it w/ NXT Tech wax
