They have precut tint or you can use spray tint like http://www.modernperformance.com/pro...oducts_id=1316

Re: how do you tint your taillights?
You can always go to a window tint shop and ask them to do it if you don't want to hassle with it.

Check with RBsTitan, he recently tinted his tail lights with some pre cut tint he got online somewhere.

Re: how do you tint your taillights?
I bought 2 little cans that were called Liquid Tint, for model cars. Got it at a hobby store here in town. Just sprayed a couple coats to your desired darkness let dry then went over with some krylon clear.

Re: how do you tint your taillights?
Well i'll tell ya what NOT to get...
i Just got these today off ebay and the film was CRAP. The directions said that it would strech to cover the entire light and stay on w/ no probs but didnt. i couldnt get it to strech to fit the light or even stay on. HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!!

Re: how do you tint your taillights?
the way I did mine and a few others is with the VHT(sp?) night shade spray can. Directions say to do 3 coats. I did about 5. Comes out super dark. After it cures, I wet sand and buff till I get the desired light output. If too dark, sand and buff again. only used 2K grit sand paper. The sanding also gets most of the orange peel in the paint so you only get a High gloss finish. Even if you fk up, sand it down and start over.
