VHT NITE SHADES is a unique transparent black taillight lens coating for creating that custom European styling. When applied to taillights, fog lights or turning indicators, VHT NITE SHADES appears black until they are lit, then the natural red re-appears. Customize lenses for only a fraction of the cost of expensive conversion kits. 7 oz Can.

Can you say dumb?

Make your lights and turn signals even harder to see so the dumbass on his cell cant see you until way to late and you get launched off your bike!

No matter what they say the light wont be as bright as without the stuff on. I've  seen it done on cars etc and it makes the lights noticably darker.

i hate those darkened tail lights.. you can hardly see them hit the brake in the day time.. night time its still dimmer than the stock..

i rather not do that.

My friends have used that stuff on their cars and while it works ok, you have to be real good with a rattle can so you don't spray it on too thick.  There's no getting that crap off so you'll have to buy a new lense if you screw up.  Bad idea on a bike to make the tail light even darker.  :nono:  Your own safety is more important than a darkened tail light to match the black paint schemes

"European styling" is a marketing term used in North America to convince the colonists that have never left their own counties that it must be cool!

I've seen it a couple of times (But it's certainly not European styling :P) It tells you that the people inside  (or on top of) that vehicle are stupid.  Usually they drive like idiots too and  have the car stereo on at an incredibly high volume (in such a way that parts of the car are vibrating loose).
