Tinted signal mirror lens with Rit Dye
#22
Since no one else did it, i took it upon my self to try it out since i had some lying around the house.
^ It looks exactly like that, although there is liquid dye, but i didn't use it.
I poured about a teaspoon in 5 cups of water, and let boil.
Then when it boiled, I lowered it to a simmer, the dropped in the signals and let simmer for 15 minutes. Make sure no water gets within the housing.
Then rinse and dry off.

well from the picture i am guessing No, because this is a color dye thats being worked into the paint, what you did might have been spray paint or paint job, so its going to have a different shine,
Similar to buying Black tail lights and tinting.

Pointers on doing this:
1. Prepare, so you can know what the eff you're doing. When i did it, the dye dripped everywhere in my kitchen, I had to go back and clean up all the spots that fell. When doing this have a bowl of water to rinse them in and a towel you don't mind getting dirty because it is a dye after all.
To answer Tcguy85's question:
It shines like it came from factory. Basically, it looks oem.
