I tried that and I got 5 threads about replacing a tail light, wonder what happened. But thanks for pointing it out Capt. Obvious.

And besides, I asked if anyone has used this, which in your search, has no answers.

Why would you PAINT tail lamps? You can get any tint shop to do them for about $50 but it will be a quick way to get pulled over all the time.

From what I understand, painting them is not as dark as a tint, but still gives it a different look. When the tint shops tint the tail lights, do they take off the lights and tint on the inside? The paint is on the outside with a clear coat.

The 1st 2 years of Gen II were delivered that way .. dark on top already. But brake lights? I personally like 'em as unobstructed as possible to up my odds the guy behind me will more likely see 'em.

here are pics of my tail-lights tinted. I even tinted the third brake light. At night, the lights pass through just fine. They are very bright and does not hinder the light output. All of my lights have been swapped to LEDs.

I think it looks great and don't even think about spray tint. At least with vinyl tint, you can remove it without any damage done to the stock tail-lights.

I bought the vinyl film from ebay. Just seach under "vinyl dark smoke." installing them takes some patience and its best to remove the entire light so you can wrap around the corners for a nicer clean look....good luck.

Just because you do not like it does not mean others will not. I have smoke lights on my truck and they are just fine, even brighter than stock since they are LED's. On a charcoal car the lights look like a huge whitehead pimple on a nice ass. They have to go away.

Those look real nice, and they are not too dark. Only thing is, will the film scratch, peel, etc?
