Well I decided to black out my amber side markers, and here's the result:

I used that VHT Nightshades stuff, and I'm thinking of doing my tails soon, and maybe my turn signals? What do you guys think?

I'll put some day pics in the morning, I just did this tonight :)

that does look sick. can you see the blinker light through them? i just did mine this weekend but haven't installed them yet. i actually smoked a set of clear ones with black backgrounds, didnt like the silver trim.

That's sounds like the best plan, I found some clear turn signals on CL so I might pick those up for $10.

Cool. :D

I want to do dual amber lamps in the front. I think someone here did that ... I'll need to mod the grille, get a second set of marker lights and tap into the existing wires but I think it'll look cool. :D

My truck is white, do they make that stuff in white?? I think they would look sick.

I dont think VHT makes a white one, but maybe another brand does. The dual ambers sounds neat!

Looks great man. I love smoked corners.

Ever though of getting a hidden antenna instead of replacing? Your Yukon looks pretty good with no antenna IMO.

I'm thinking of just completely getting rid of the antenna, I never listen to the radio anyway. Is there a way you can cover up the old hole easily?

those corner lights look good! im thinkin of doing my whole front end including headlights and bumper lighst but with a light tint. have you ever thought about blacking out all of the front lights? maybe with a light coat? i think it'll match your corner real well. looks good bro either way.

edit: what are your fender measurements?? i want mines (2wd) to be as tall as yours im trying to stuff 33s in it./

It's call VHT Nightshades, goes on like spray paint, but it's supposed to be transparent so light can shine through. I bought a can at advanced auto parts for like $10 I think. I didnt see until after I did it, that someone in the NNBS section has a tutorial on how to use it "properly" i guess. I kinda just went for it lol.

VHT Nightshades: $10.00
3M Sand pad: $3.00
Clear coat: $4.00 (I already had clear, I dunno how much exaclty it is)
I'd say you could do it for $20.00 easy! :)

I used a 3m polishing kit before doing mine because I was doing my old stock lights. Makes HUGE difference if you're using old yellowed stock lights.
