Lights painted TOO DARK HELP

JMO, but I have to agree.
It's your ride, but I just don't get how you can sacrifice loss of lighting for aesthetics.
Especially when there are so many mods that you can do to the interior of the lights.

I agree with the suggestion above. Try something like goof-off. You really need to take the lights back to the original state and then decide what to do next.
You can't paint them black and then wet sand them down to the level of tint you want.
I suggest tinting them with cutouts for where the light exists the lens. I had a Z24 with tinted headlights and I couldn't see a damn thing on dark rainy nights.

Painting headlight lenses? Never hard of such a thing. I blacked out my headlights, but I took them apart and painted the bezels, I don't think a uniform dark color will look good anyways if the inside is still all chrome, terrible idea IMO, sorry man, I think you're kind of screwed, you should beat the guy who did this, he should have known that it wasn't going to look good or work well.

if you wanted some headlight tint you should just get some overlays: http://carcustomz.com/osc/infiniti-s...ay-p-1129.html
At least you'll still be able to see the road.

Yes, I've done this for my brother's tails on his Mazda. He had to remove the tinting spray on his tails.
I used nail polish remover and varsol. Worked awesome. Try the nail polish remover first, but you need the good polish remover, not the dollar store variety.
Then I used "headlight lens restorer/polish" to rid of any hazing.
The lights turned out cleaner/brighter than before he painted them.
Good luck.

Ive never seen anybody paint the lense before. Everybody paints the housing itself and leave the lense clear. I think it looks much better like that and retains all forms of legailty. If its painted, and clear coated, there really is no way to lighten it up aside from stripping the paint and starting over...in which case the plastic lense itself would probably be ruined.
