Taillight Tint Question?????

My brother told me that his friend tinted his taillights and the heat from the bulbs made the lens crack all over. Has this happened to anyone yet?

No, I thought about tinting my taillight on my red lancer, and I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone on this site.

she s a girl that s why. hehe

For tinting taillights: It's a Japanese spray paint lens tint. Costs about 35 dollars for a small bottle like half of Krylon spray can. Dry quickly and high quality. There are two kinds, removable and non-removable.

Just highlight it with your mouse and then you can read it.
