So as the new title suggests i have tinted the rear lights

After i mentioned wanting tinted rear lights in a previous (thread or message) a very helpful friend named Knight linked me to a set being sold on Fleabay

They wanted £9.99 postage so i placed a reasonable £15.00 bid as my limit they sold for £16.00 oh well (To be honest they were really black and prob not legal but looked awsome)

So i had a snoop around wanting really dark but legal film and i happened across this spy film stuff which is legal

I Shall Explain...

This is said film on a roll

Close up you can see how it works and why its still legal

I am more than happy with the finished result although the pictures dont do it justice

I got this stuff on using my mrs hairdryer a very flexable plastic spatula i actually removed the lights to do it but can easily be done on the car

As i say pics do no justice as i can confidenly say there are no bubbles or blemishes at all except there are three points on out rear lights surfaces from where they were moulded and they pertrude slightly

And the further you walk away they go proper black will take some more pics later when it gets dark

Look's great that mate! i was thinking of this mod my self although i wasn't sure on a silver car.

Im going to do something similar i think but only do the clear part

That will look good mate touch more tricky to get neat finish although you can remove the lense completely and do it from the inside but i did not fancy that as they will need to be glued back together afterwards :D
