But have you ever seen someone remove it?
yes it comes off with laquer and strong paint thinner and some time.

No one has answered your question because no one is retarded enough to do it

With nightshades, you have to use x-amount to get the look that you want. with x-amount, you get x-amount of light output. You see where I'm going with this? You use too little and you don't like how they look or you use too much and you can't see anything.

But to answer your question I guess: They look like the tails except they're on the headlights

I got niteshades from Summit Racing web site. You can also get it off of EBay from Summit Racing. Just search niteshades and you're set.

I did my TYC tails and they came out perfect. Just go slow and really light applications. Do it in layers and it will be run free. The last layer make it medium wet for both the niteshade and clear coat.
