Default tired painting my mirror lights...

used the rustoleum flat black enamel i had left over from painting my waterfall... completely blacked out the light, doesn't shine thru at all. don't know if this a good thing and now i don't have to worry about changing the LED's in them, or if i wan't to get some niteshades and white LED's to fix it.

Get your lights back. Bad idea from the start.

You may not need em but morons who like to lane-switch while you do without looking may smash into your side.

You should have just gotten the VHT from the start and gotten the same look but still some functionality, now you're going to spend more money than you intended, but that's if you want to correct the issue.

Live and learn right? I would strip the rustoleum and then do it right with nightshade.

why would it cost more? i used left over spray from my waterfall. the only thing i lost was a little bit of time and some left over paint. going to order some niteshades after i swap out the LED's for white ones.
