i wanna make my tail lights darker but i dont wanna use a spary tint to do it,
i've heard and see of people getting their tail lights tinted with a black film which makes it look completely black but the lights still shine through as normal? is there such thing? or people just pulling my leg? haha thanks guys.

i experimented with K-mart window tint film some time ago with an EA tail light... it didnt really work well.

The ones on my el where done before i got it but i believe they where pulled apart and sprayed from the inside which has given them a awsome finish as they still have the gloss of the plastic and still shine through 100%.
Its not the best photo but you get the idea.

yeah probly best just to spray them. cans are cheap yeah?
reckon i'd get pulled over a fair bit with them tinting? also how good is the light that still shines through? just like normal?

I've done it to mine with a can of VHT Nightshade and a can of clear coat.
It is not completely black but around 60% They do shine through as normal but if you go too dark they won't. That is when I would recommend switching to LED brake and indicator bulbs and you'll be sweet.

With one of the cars i tinted the taillights on, i pulled the lenses off and sprayed the inside instead, and it came up a million bucks. Looked heaps better, and still retained the normal gloss of the taillight.

cover inside of the lens with plastic fly sceen mesh and use black paint , you'll end up with small black squares but clear lines for the light to come through normally , old school but works

There is a guy in WA who is or was selling some on Ebaya few weeks ago and they are black and shiny I got him to do a spare set for Hazens car and when she uses her brakes or indicates you still see the colour of her lights it cost me $50 as I freighted them and Hazen picked them up when she was over there.
They look great on her dark ute.
