Darkened my tail-lights,third brake light, side lights

Used the VHT Nighshades spray tinting. What do you guys think?

I was scared at this point that they were going to be too dark. I used three coats.

Sun isnt shining so it's hard to tell as much right now. The brake lights shine through just fine during the day and all lights shine through fine at night.

Three coats is pretty high. Usually people have issues with that many coats. 2 is probably preferred. If I was going to do it, I'd probably do only one, and yes, I know that would be next to no change.

I think three is gonna be good. Think two would have been pretty good too though.

Looks pretty good, but I would wet sand and spray on some clear for a nice shine

That looks great bro. I put some Niteshades on the taillights of my Vic. It's a great look for light colored cars. Esp. white ones. Once I clean the inside of my taillights lenses or replace them, I'll probably put Niteshades on too.
