tinting tails

my buddy is tinting my tail lights tomorrow and i can't figure out how i want it to look. i'm only getting two coats then a clear. i don't want them too dark. my trouble is if i should get the reverse lights tinted or not. i don't care if it's not as bright but what would look better. i want my car to have a nice ass, i already shaved it. any input would be helpful.

It's called VHT Nite Shades tint.

Just google it, you'll probably see a ton of people selling it.

i got it done friday and it looks sweet. my computer is ghetto and doesn't up load pics, so i will try and explain how they look. we measured an 1 1/2in all the way around all four lights and that boarder was tinited with three coats along with a 2in strip in between the brake and signal and marker and reverse. the 3rd brake light has three coats. i will try and get pics up, there on my buddy's camara at his store.
