do yourself a favor and DO NOT try window tint or that cheap garbage you can get on ebay that is supposedly form fitting to your lights. does not work by any means. best bet is to have them done, but yet again be careful cause if theyre not done right, theyll orange peel and pit like crazy and eventually start peeling off. if youve got a c, i recommend you buy the tinted LED tails from ebay.. they cost about what it does to get them tinted, and its led so it looks ten times better. plus it saves a WHOLE lot of trouble.

I would send them off to get painted. There's many people that do it, just search around on the board. Prices range from about $100-$200 for the service. You'll be happy, and they usually colormatch to your car. Check out Jonstintedtails.com. In the custom tinted photo gallery you can see some color matched lights. Good luck whatever you choose. I attached some pics of mine.

yeah i know i meant on tail lights

oh ok, I dont think I could sincerely stress to you anymore, to get them professionaly painted... you dont wanna go cheap on your car.. get it done right, and then you can enjoy the longevity of your mods, without worrying about things breaking down over time... Plus when there painted you have the beautiful gloss finish... your not gonna have anything like that trying to window tint your taillights

Just had mine done. This is Medium Tint from Avon Custom Wheels. They have a site called tintmytails.com. Before and after pictures. I had them mask off the three white back-up lights .
