they arent black background like your tails but the way the lightning style headlights are shaped its hard to get all black with minimal chrome.

they work well with my nightshaded tails and to be honest no one sees the front and back at the same time haha

I'm just trying to match the lens colors as best as I can, but, I'll most likely be going with the same headlights as yours. Your taillights are like black,, does nightshade work for license plate covers? I'm looking to smoke my clear license plate cover.

Yeah, I'll test it out. The cops around here are more easy going due to us military personnel.

I used rubbing alcohol when I painted my dash. After I rubbed it over with a scrubbing pad first.

Well, I tried to change my dashboard lights to red. Turned out I bought 7 LED's that were to big, and only had 2 that were perfect fit. Then, I found out that the dashboard has green tint, and I have no clue on how to remove it, due to it looking like there's a thin plastic layer over the tint.
