What is the best way to blackout the front signal lights? The tint shop says that they can't be conventionally tinted due to the fact they are plastic.

There is a spray product from VHT called Nite Shade, don't know if it works though. Check some of our supporting vendors for stick on smoked vinyl overlays, that way you can peel them off if your local LEO has a problem with it...

I used the Night shades on my front corner lights. worked pretty well.If you can mix you own, you would have more control on how black they get.

Just about any Corvette supplier sells the GTO lexan 'black out" covers. Pop 'em on or off. $37.99 from Eckler's part # 33891.
