Default night shading lights question.

Should i remove the lights im going to night shade, or just use newspaper and tape to protect the body from being sprayed as well. im using autozone brand VHT night shade spray. anyone used this one before?

Yeah man, you can get the side markers and the fogs from behind the front wheel well shield. I went night shade crazy and did the heads, tails, side markers and fogs, but i got pulled over for the headlights! ha ha so their just blacked housing now.

I would take them off just to be safe from over spray. That's what I did on my side markers. VHT brand is the stuff to use and can be bought at advanced ect now and not just online. Just be careful because going from one coat to the next can make them ALOT darker.
