I already use that kind of spray on my 2003 Sentra. It's pretty hard to apply but the result is not that bad. I don't think it may be remove. But BE CAREFULL. My best friend also use this spray on the same time on his old 90 VW Golf and maybe because the plastic of the taillights is old and dry, they all craked up everywhere. It cost two new taillights............... he never wanted to try the spray again! hehe.

Just an idea... don't know if it possible, but maybe just use use some standard window tint film? I assume the window film is self-adhesive, so why do use it to cover taillights?

Actually you take some clear coat, add a few drops of black in, and spray until it's as dark as you like..... is that what you guys over there, call this process?

Yes but tinting tail lights is illegal in almost everywhere in Canada and in many states of USA! So you definitely need a removable tint solution... or keep a 500$ in safe place to buy some OE tail lights if needed.

I can get ticketed for a lot of things on all my vehicals, doesn't stop me from modding and making them my own though..

And NO, the changes/mods are not dangerous to other drivers, or myself.

It's probably depending of where you live, cause in the area I live, the first thing the cops are looking for is tinted taillights. Almost no body will take a change to tint thier taillights here. But most of other mods are tolerated.

Oh, dont get me wrong, its very illegal here to tint tails and headlights, as well as have any red or blue bulbs in the front of the car... doesnt stop the ricers from having those stupid led washer jets though.

yup it is, the cops will give u SHIT about it.......though it aint a huge defect that you will get pulled over for.

But if you get pulled over for speeding, or a random breath test....they obviously will look at your car and charge u cuz its defected.
