the reverse lights look fine since they're so bright. I HATE your brake lights since you can see the strand of LEDs. Make a cluster or line the entire surface. It looks like total 
IMO. Just being honest.
however about tinting them, I have seen best results with a professional shop doing it. For whatever reason the nightshades BS is some sort of paint that doesnt allow light to come through. Get them professionally done and stop chasing your *** with it

Hello. I have never used this "Nightshades" stuff before, but it sounds like flat black paint to me. Garbage!!! I used to work in the paint world. The only good way to tint you're lens is to mix a little black paint in with the clear coat. The more coats the darker it gets. This is why you're painter guy wanted $50 a set. Not bad. Go out and try to buy the black paint, clear, hardener, reducer and proper spray equiptment for $50. Sounds like you would be ahead buy know if you count you're time. As far as LED's go one of the cheapest places I have found in besthongkong.com

They look the same as they did a year and a half ago. If that's "garbage", the, I guess I'm perfectly happy with having "garbage" on my truck.
