    Yeah , have to watch out for the coppas defecting you because of tinting them.

    Few mates have it done, just say its a SMOKED LENSE!, but theres are nearly black, but got away with it.

    VHT IS A TOP BRAND!!

    i cant remember the specific laws but you need to be able to reckonise the colours ie orange red and white from so far away..

    its only worth a cop defect so if it gets done, sand it back easy fixed

    just dont go so thick you cant see them, you want looks not to be unsafe!

    My mate used a WHOLE CAN ON HIS TAIL LIGHTS!

    fairly ridicuolous!
    his lights are now "Black", but when he puts foot on brake or has indicator on, can see it so clear, but just cant no longer see lense colours!.

    But when you do use it, just be careful of how much you put on.

    Did you tell your mate to just be careful when he did it? hahaha

    Ive gone through both Autobarn and Repco in dural... very convenient cause they are neighbours. neither said they stock Nightshades. I think i would get away with it. i noticed the other day that on my VT, the pointless taillight plastic thing stretched across the boot is naturally a few shades darker than the actual stock tail lights. few tips about Autobarn and repco... dont buy car audio from either, dont buy interior lighting from either and dont buy headlights from either. trust me there are higher quality products out there that are simliar or cheaper, escpeciallyy when it comes to interior lighting. , i price hunt alot when i want something.
