Turned out nice.. I have heard mixed reviews on the vht stuff.. People say it fades.. I would think if you have a good bit of clear on it, that it would not. But I have read other wise.. How long did they hold up, did they fade at all??

How did you prep the lights? A buddy tried the VHT on his tails and the paint spidered/cracked up...
