You can try a light coat of the Niteshade spray on stuff to see if that gives you what you are looking for. Smoked but still reflective maybe??

I did the smoked-out look with some nightshades (couple of coats with some wetsanding with 2000 grit in between) and clearcoat. I'll snap a pic or two tomorrow so you can see the look. - YODA

Yeah, Yodas look good. I just wanted the "no gay-ass refelctor was ever here" look so I went with the Ford parts.

Been having the afternoons off and I got bored, decided to Niteshade the reflectors.

Thinking of doing the three lights on the grill.

Yup, that's pretty much how mine turned out. You can barely tell most of the time, though...I almost always have mud on my truck.

Careful doing anything with the lights in the grill. I've heard a lot of people here comment about very strict laws regarding those things.

Have at you!

I doubt any law officials in my area would care if they are niteshaded, as long as they light up. As well I saw that they have niteshade in red, im thinking of doing the orange led on the mirrors red. Idk something about the orange facing back while the tail lights are red kinda gets to me.

the 3 middle should be ok but leave the out side one's alone for shirr

Will not touch any other than the grill! ha
Before, I had thought of niteshading all the led lights because the truck is blue with black and figured itll be ok but no, it will not be ok. Dont worry I punished my self for even thinking that.
