Not quite sure exactly what your talking about, but there is this stuff called VHT Nite Shade, its a spray on tint that allows light to pass through it... 11.99 a can from www.summitracing.com .I've seen a couple guys on this board use it on their tails :thumbsup

GTS makes the clear ones I have in my sig, but I think they're discontinued. I used Nightshade on my tails and it works+holds up really well, just be sure to use really thin, even coats.
 95ESI-intake,borla,sportlines,kyb,tsw more on the way

Front headlights, Like they are pitch black until the lights come on.
That nightshade stuff, does it work with front headlights to?

I think that's what it's actually made for.... But I had a bad experience trying to use it on my clear bumper lenses...maybe it is only for tails?:wary

do you need to take off your lights to put it on, i really dont fucking feel like removing my bumper and all that shit.

csmakio, you shouldn't have to remove your bumper to get the headlights out. Have a look at the post here for the procedure I used to remove mine with the stock 97-99 front end: http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=51556&mesg_id=51556&page=
Aside from the top mounting bolt, I found the bottom one was the easiest to remove (do not reinstall). You will scrape your hands up a bit trying to get inside the fender wells for the 2 bolts on each of the sides :(
Lil off topic, but did anyone else have trouble getting their turn signal bulbs back into the headlight housing? I found that to be the most difficult part of the whole job.
