taillight tinting

I was just wondering how difficult it is to tint my tail lights, do they come apart easy and should i just put in window tint film or should i get spray stuff.. thanks.

The taillights themselves come off very easily. Just pop the trunk, take out a few screws and they pop right out. As for the vinyl vs. spay...it all depends on what you're looking for. I have the tint film on mine. The tint film is less permanent and can be changed easily. It is also less work. The spray involves quite a bit of work and a steady hand. I didn't use the spray, but I would imagine that it is tougher to alter and work with.

you gotta take the tail lights apart to tint? isnt the tint inside the housing like windows?

i did the spray on 'nite shades' tint...i dont know how to post pics, so i cant help ya there, but i put on 4 light coats...hardest part is makin sure you are givin even levels of spray and not too close...now mine are a shade or so darker then g/a tails...never any problems either from the locals.

you would put the tint on the outside.....bcuz you will have a hell of a time getting that lens off in 1 piece.....not to mention getting it sealed when you put it back on......ive heard some good things about the spray tint....might try that....

sorry the pic is so big, not sure how to shrink it, but this was after i installed them after being spray tinted, but then realized i should have clear coated them for more shine, which i did just recently, and it looks very good
