how can I tint my rear lights without dimming the lights, and keeping it legal?

I really like it Dave. Suits the car really well IMO. Think it looks great with black car. Good price too. Was it easy to do? :-)

^ That's just what I was thinking

I hashed it a bit by not taking out the light clusters..... we did it as a 2 man (woman) job, me on the film and the smoothing thing, and Ash on he hairdryer!, my edges look crappy up close because i didnnt take out the light clusters and fold the edges properly....

 

 

I will be re-doing this and taking out the light clusters to make it right

 

still using the same stuff though

Did your 15 quid's worth give you enough to do it all twice?

I only did it once yet to re-do it! lol..

Dave,

 

Would you happen to have a link handy - I'd love to do that as well

I got 2 goes out of mine. It's fiddly tbh but if you take your time it's worth it and defo take the light cluster out.

I just brought some cheap spray tint off eBay, looks much better than the fly-eyes kit (which I previously brought but couldn't get on with very well as it stretched allot and ripped some of the mesh wholes in it!)

 

Its great because you can choose how dark you want to go, I only gave mine a couple of coats so its not too dark at the moment but will probably give it a couple more this week. 

 

Ill try and find some pictures tonight of a before and after and post back here  

 

I think I paid about £5 for the can!

Doesn't the spray reduce the effectiveness of the reflector in the cluster?

Apparently, although I haven't seen any change, suppose it depends how dark you go, I've seen some people mask over the reflector leaving a cool C shape that isn't tinted

I've seen that C shape and it does look good.

I also saw one guy who sprayed his lights dark and put a reflective strip on the number plate
