you need to put a clear film over them to get the glossy look back that is now gone. Otherwise, looks good. DON'T GO DARKER....

What about a spray clear coat? thats what i planned on. anyone ever dealt with that stuff?

Not sure of the products available in the States, but if it's from a reputable manufacturer (did you use VHT for tint?), you should be o.k. Does your tint manufacturer make a clear?

I usually dp all my lights in either smoke or all red depending on car.
What brings them to life is a quick polish with that headlight renew polish that sell at autozone or strauss. Just lay it on there at polish away til you get the desired shine, so they look oem.
Works great!!
