Editing Tinting Tail Lights (section)

=Removing Tint=
This guide is for those of you who have gone a little overboard with Nite-Shades and would like to either remove the tint, or remove the tint and re-coat your lights.

==Why?==
To start off with, here is a picture of my lights. You'll see why I chose to do this:

Yes, far too much Nite-Shades on them. I knew that this would make my car more of a cop magnet than any other R31 with P plates, so I decided to strip the tint and re-do my lights. 

==With?==
Go and grab the following:

*1x bottle of metho (you won't need an entire bottle)
*1x empty ice cream container (or any container, doesn't matter)
*2x rags

Fill up your container with water, put a fair bit in because you'll want to make sure you get all the metho off. Take everything out to where your going to be working. Before you start, it's a good idea to open your boot. If you don't, you may accidentally get metho on your garnish, and it leaves a horrible mark that won't come off.

==How?==
Now, pour some metho onto one of your rags, and start rubbing away at the tail light. Use some elbow grease, it might take a little bit to get the tint off depending on how much you used. 

While I was doing this, I was stopping every 10 - 15 seconds, getting the other rag, dipping it into the water and washing the metho off my tail light and surrounding areas, just to try and minimize any damage the metho may be doing, and then going back to attack it with the metho again.

Not too long after you start, you should see something like this:

Note: If you leave the metho to dry, it will turn the Nite-Shades white where it has touched. Don't worry about this, it will still come off but try to be a quick as possible.

Continue rubbing and washing the light until you've got as much as possible off with the rags. It is a bit tricky to get into the grooves of the light with the rag, so improvise. I didn't bother with mine because I was re-coating them anyway, but I'm guessing a toothbrush or something similar coated in metho might do the job. 

Here's how my first light turned out:

Repeat the procedure for both tail lights and you should be done in no time  ;)
Mine took me about 20 - 30 mins to do both.

Here's my final product:

And that's how I removed Nite-Shades from my tail lights.
If you are re-coating, make sure the tail light is dry before you do so.
