Here is what mine used to look like. Three coats of nightshade with no clear coat. I regret not putting on clear coat.

Those are gone now and LEDs are in their place. I don't know if this counts as "tinting" but on my LED lights I darkened them from the inside. This gives the effect of tinting without being illegal

@03JGMonte - Got a pic of the entire rear of your car??? I'm toying with the idea of tinting my tails and you're would be the closest match to what mine would look like.

Thanks man!

X2 on that! I don't really want to tint them until I tint my windows but I'm not sure what they'd look like yet

Anyone tried tinting their tail lights with window tint? I tinted my reverse lights and 3rd brake light with it and made eyebrows for my headlights with it but I can't seem to figure out how to do the tail lights with the tint
