My project last night. Used VHT Night Shades to black out my tailights. Very pleased with the results! I love it.

Looks great!! Dark, but not so dark that it will hamper visibility.

Looks good!

When mine were done, we removed them from the car. We did 2 coats VHT and 2 clear:

To the OP: those look great! just enough tint to look good, although i agree with Ryan aka Crash, that you should def look into at least putting a layer of clear coat if you havent already ;)

They will oxidize and attract wax that won't buff out if you don't clearcoat them. I strongly suggest removing them from the car for that.

I am surprised how well mine have held up without clear. Although I do wax them regularly.
