Another way to tint them is to use a spray on tint like night shade. May take a few coats to tint them how you want, but I figure one or 2 coats max. It is illegal to tint headlights and tailights in Ontario, so I am sort of FUBAR'd on that one...

the body shop i deal with has done a few set of tail lights on different cars and it looks good! and u can make it as dark as u want.

he does something to the clear coat...and just clears them. Im telling you its the best way to go. want fade or chip. I think he only charges like 30-50 bucks.

go to a body shop and see what they say.

Another way you can tint your taillights is by using some clear and mixing it with black paint. Spray on with a spray gun. Check mine out.
