some 2500grit wet and dry sandpaper in between coats to lessen that dotty look....and id personally remove the lights from the car
coz ur definately gona get over spray.....or u can get some tint film from a window tinter...darkest legal is best for tail lights

Dont know about the laws in other states, but a frind of mine was defected in SA a couple of nights ago for obstructed taillights. His are similar to this pic, but black. The cops were bad that night and defected a lot of cars that had any modifications. Some drivers protested that they had no defects, but the cops said to let Regency VIS sort it out.

The VS lights look pretty wicked, how'd you get them so straight?

I used tape :) I had some double sided tape from bunnings in my car and that was easiest to use (obviously didnt unpeel both sides of it lol) it just had the right width.

As for the legality things, that car got written off by someone crashing into me, they did hit the front though lol The car is still legal because you can see the lights from the correct distance and the reflectors were still fully visible, also been pulled by cops and had no issues.

i had mine done on my ute looked great
did 3 coats 15-30 cm away and waited 15minutes between each coat
unfortunetly a cop told me they were illegal
but if u get wax and grease remover u can wipe it off with an bit of elbow grease too!
worth a try until u get done by the cops

Hey mate just wondering how your lights still have a polished surface to them.. everyone else i see it looks matt and ****.. yours look clean as tho its meant to be like that?

Also... are your front lights tinted? if so how legal is it and does it take away any of the light?
