Smoking out tail lights

[CB7 Gl4dos]

Ok I've seen spray can coatings, and lens films online. Do these methods produce their claimed result? what is the best way to achieve the smoked out look? Thanks!

I did mine with the can. Check out my mrt and you can see how they came out. I did em about three months ago. Still no fading or anything.

I used this vinyl window tint from autozone. It sucks on windows but its good on lights. Its has ben on for around 8 months and its ben holding up nicely. Best part is I can peal it off if I ever get sick of it.
Check out my Members' Rides thread to see it. I didnt do the best job but it looks good.

I use the spray can on my CB. Still on there about a year.Did couple coats...Tried the film on my explorer just got irritated around the corners.

I used VHT Nighstade or the spray can and as long as you prep the light right, it should come out good and last a long while.

I did mine about a year ago on my tails and my bumper lights and no issues so far.
