Thats why you use LED's I never have to worry about it and mine are black.

I was the same way when I had my stocks though. Thats why I painted them then immediately went and orderd LED's.

I used Niteshade on my mustang tails ans 3rd brake light. 1000 grit wet sanded them, wiped them down with paint thinner, 4 very light coats, wet sanded with 1500 lightly, clear coated with a semi gloss clear, wet sanded with 2000 and buffed. Looked like a sheet of black glass. Like the covers, but permanent. Paint work is all the same, 99.99% in the prep work.

Wet sand the clear with 1500, and re-apply clear. Wet sand and buff and you will be all good. No need to take it all the way down and start again, it is a waste of time and materials. Unless there is a run in the paint.

Are you using a gloss clearcoat? Seems obvious, just making sure it is not flat or satin clear.

Check your fuses might have accidentally hooked it in backwards and blown one.

Did you check your VEH CHMSL fuse? (Fuse box by the driver door - Fuse is just a little lower than dead-center of the other fuses)
That's the one for your 3rd brake light.

checked that one right now it looks good any other suggestions.
