I don't think i would try it unless i had an extra set, but maybe if you laid down a thin layer or two of the tint spray it might work. Someone should try this!!

i think ... not legal...
but cops don't seem to care much 'round these parts..
besides... if in doubt... couldn't you pop on your headlights?

Awsome!

It would look sick if you did your front and rear side markers to.

Flat Finish or is it my eyes ?

Looks good ...... Should you not buff out the haze and the flat look to give it a shine and luster ??

I like the dark look on the lights. I need to do that myself. I guess I'll try that this weekend.

sanded them down, took all the dark tint off, went for round 2, still had plenty left in the can and it turned out a little darker than i thought, but they are ok.

now how can i make them shine pretty? they are kind of dull from the tint.

has anyone just sprayed the inside of the lens and thats it? i figured that way you would be able to keep the glossy finish with no buffing. smoking out the side markers sounds like a good idea as well as for the headlights and side markers. might as well keep the same theme throughout the whole car.....
