How many coats did you do? I can't wait to do my headlights...how badly does it effect the light? An aveo guy did his headlights BLACK with the same stuff and he said it barley effected the light.
1. buy a few cans of night shades(20 bucks for 2 shipped to my door in 3 days)
2. take the headlight and tail light assemblies off your car(or tape them off)
3. clean the lenses that you're going to spray.(i used paint thinner and then window cleaner)
4. spray a nice, even coat, wait a few min or so and spray another coat...and so on.(it says to wait 6 hours before reassembling, but it gets tacky in a few min and feels dry in 30 min or less)
i put 3 coats on both heads and tails...the tails are still pretty bright and i'm satisfied with them. as far as the headlights go, they're definitely dimmer and i would like to go darker, but i'd probably want to get an HID kit first. i have green HID bulbs in, which aren't as bright as the stock bulbs...so i guess i could always buy white silverstars and do another coat on the heads....
you can't really see it, but i took the orange triangle out of the headlight and painted it black, too. i think it would show through if i left it amber
i actually did some researching...i dont know about virginia, but my girlfriend's family is a good friend of an officer that looked it up for me and she said that it is legal as long as theyre clearly visible and red from 50 feet

Also, there are a few cars that comestock with smoked tailights. I think some firebirds and impalas come to mind.
