you can use smoke vinyl on outside, or the spray. but doing it on the inside will last much much longer for obvious reasons.

there are some threads that show how . i'm pretty sure they have to be cut though, cause they are heat molded, not glued.

basically you can get window tint and "tint" your taillights on the inside or outside. Or look for a spray call Nite Shades, which is a spray on tint. Not sure how to get your taillights open but I'd assume its very similiar to painting the stock head lights.

i tinted my tailights with the spray tint, and i love them. it was really easy too.

1. remove tailights. i believe there are 2 screws that hold them in that you can very easily get to if you open your trunk.

2. mask off any area that you DON'T want tinted with tape(i used masking tape)

3. using very light coats, apply the tint, allowing it to throughly dry inbetween applications, and make sure you don't touch the lights because fingerprints and such will show up when you're done.

4. apply layers until you acheive the look you are going for.

pm me if you have some more detailed questions. i've done this on quite a few cars actually.

If you want the smoke look on the outside of the entire tail light, it won't do any good doing it from the inside, it will just darken the red unless the lights are on. The only place you would see the smoke look is the reverse lamps. I suggest using tint film on the outside, getting an even application of paint can be difficult.... All imperfections in the paint will show when you hit the brakes. Use a heat gun, or even a hairdryer to help get the tint film to go smothly over the curve in the tail light.

Let me know if you decide to sell the EVO VII tails... I would definitely buy them. Thanks!

I don't know... how long have they been on your car, and are the true JDM? What do you want for them?

These euros are my other option to the JDM's and I can get them for $120 plus shipping.
