You're not supposed to do it to headlights, genius. Many people have it on here and it's called NightShades and you can get it on Ebay.

Yea it's not for headlights. There's also some japanese junk on eBay that works well for a friend of mine. Search for smoke spray.

Call a couple of the local tint shops in your area, they may have it. I used NightShades brand on mine, 4 coats of tint and 3 coats of clear and it came out pretty good. Just make sure you shake it up more than you would regular spray paint each time you use it and do thin coats.

User error. 100%

There are many of us who have used this product with great success. Its awesome. If you read the thread he mentioned you will note that 99% of the replies in there are success stories. Application is key. Make sure to do several light, light coats to get an even and consistent coverage.
See my sig link for pics of my taillights with nightshades.

also clean your lights really good with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oils on them left from your hands. Then dont touch them again unless your wearing latex gloves or something. That will keep the spray from bubbling or wrinkling up.

you can buy it at modernperformance.com they sell it. it's pretty cool. make sure you follow the directions exactly. there is also a company that actually tint your taillights for you.

forget all that, get black paint, and clear coat. mix it so theres 75% clear and 25% black paint. spray on a coat, let it dry. if you want it darker keep layering real thin coats
