So you didn't pull off the tails to spray tint them? I just went out and bought some myself to do it.. But I'm terrified. On my 99 I just bought a used set off Craigslist, sprayed em, and installed the new set.. Was it tough with runniness, etc while still mounted?

The static tint was easy for me to install. I don't know why you had a hard time with it. I'll post up photos when I get the 35% tint.

I did pull off the tails to spray tint them. First off, the temperature outside wasn't what the Nightshades recommend, there is a good chance of getting dirt in the tint, chances of the tint could run,etc - basically it wasn't worth the risk.

It was really not hard to remove the lights and definitely worth the extra steps.

Looks pretty good! just need to be a tad bit darker. I got my tints from ebay, it was like 14 bucks and pre-cut I figured I'd try it out and its been on ever since.

Thanks, they actually do look a little bit darker, that photo was taken in the direct sunlight.

Your tinted lights are pretty dark, have you ever been stopped for them?

I haven't been stopped yet, knock on wood! the tints on my headlights and fogs are removable and can be stored and put back again the turn signals are the coated black housing ones.
