I had a friend do mine. He sanded very little, mixed black paint with clear and sprayed them. Then cleared over them.

Most of the Mustang guys have vinyl overlays. Here is a link to F150 overlay:

Another option would be Niteshades by VHT. It is a spray. But it is apparently very difficult to remove if you change your mind.

If only they made it for the F-150 like they do for the Cobras..

VHT Nightshades with afew clear coats on top is great.

Vht would be the way to go, take the tails off the truck and spray in on coat after coat till you get the shade you want.

I bought Harley Davidson Taillights off of ebay for $75 shipped. They are genuine OEM HD tails too.

If it turns out I want to go a little darker in the future I'll take my stock set in and get them smoked out.

so vht nightshade is located at any pepboys and if after you spray it with nightshade is there any sanding done in order to get a nice shiny look, need a little info from beginning to end, thanks! ps. dont want to go to dark.
