smoked vinyl from graphics shop works, has to be translucent obviously. only works on really smooth tail lights or else it looks like crap.

the other is a spray thing. most people says it works best, the more coats = the darker it is. there is a type that peels off but if u have a spare set that shouldnt matter.

Contact OniS14. His tail lights look great. I dont think he comes on TR anymore, but send him a PM, he might reply back.

I did mine by mixing clear coat and black. Turned out good, but I dont have a third brake light...so it kind of sucks. You can get hobbie shop window tint paint and clear coat over that if you want the shine. its a really small can for like 5 bucks. I can show you pics of mine if you want...

Thats the only picture I have of them as of now. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to get some good ones at a nice location...

i put some clear film over it..then used an exacto to cut off a certain section..i decided to section around the reverse lights...GoofOff makes the stuff come right off! wont melt the plastic..just the tint paint!
if you wanted..this could be done to brakes...sidemarkers...blinkers..whatever
