    Default Light output reduced to candle power - almost

    Firstly I will say that I beleive in VEIL.

    I applied the product to the headlight & side indicators on the Cosmo. Noticed the reduction in light intensity from my upgraded high wattage bulbs. The reduction in intensity has me concerned as its quite hard to see at times in the night.

    Perhaps some feedback on the issue please.

    Have I done something wrong. All the posative testimonies must mean I have done something wrong some how

    Here is a before & after shot of the Cosmo from similar angles. Plus another showing the indicator lenses before & after application

    It does look good, no bumps or streaks etc. It does seem dark, at least not as dark as my lenses.
    RX-75, how many coats did you apply or was that a single pass?

    Dark is good! :P IMO a little thicker coat will give better results!

    In the pic the veil still looks wet (mabey why it seems very dark) compare it too the pic of the car veil appears to be a little lighter!

    Overall I say damn good job! :wink:

    Well i found that i had about a 20% reduction in light output. Luckily for me I have biXenon headlights and i can still see well at night. I did lose some of that bluish glow from my lights. I do miss the blue glow.

    Maybe you can find stronger lights. I di notice however that you already have upgraded lights. Do they come any stronger?
