my buddy smoked his lenses from the inside! came out real nice. you guys should try that.
i smoked the yellow amber strips itself from the headlights, and before i finished my project i took my sweet time buffing out and polishing the hell out of my headlights before putting it back together...trust me its worth the extra time. trust me when you put time into polishing it up theyll clear up
good luck

spray tint...aka vht niteshades
i used some smoking film found on ebay?? my buddy bought it and i used it, ill find out but its pretty generic and cheap but did the job. it was the darkest shade available too. i think there a light, medium, and dark shade.
imo get the darkest shade period it looks cleaner and flows better, but thats just me.

Keep it simple.
Oven ftw!!! I attempted to use a heat gun for about 5 mins with blackhousing and went to the oven because it was warping the plastic and gettin nothing done. I had mine in the oven at 200 for 10 mins and it worked perfectly.
