So where do you get the spray tint?

 

ebay, local parts store (auto zone, napa, etc), my local stereo shop has it too,

i used stuff called vht night shades. its easy. get it. do it. take pictures of it. post it. now!!!!

 

lol Okay, okay . . .

 

Waterfreak66, I believe you've not open up your sidemarker yet right? The reason why I know is because it's tough and time consuming if you try to tint the inside. You'll have to open up the water tight glue and may end up cracking or breaking the thin plastic case. Here's a pic of my OEM 330Ci's...you'll see what I mean

Most people will just tint the outside and clear coat it. I recommend VHT night shades too.

 

If you insist on tinting it, it almost certainly has to be done on the outside. If you were to tint the inside (which would be a pain in the first place), it will just look like a dirty lens with condensation in it. So buy the spray and do the outside and clear. I bought mine from Trinity, the strobe doesn't bother me at all, its just right at startup...

 

You should definitely tint them from the outside. if you do it from the inside the outer plastic will still yellow making it look like they were in a fire. Here is mine after i sanded and tinted them. I used some testors spray tint. They were very yellow before.






Worked good on my motorcycle too

 

+1, and it really is faintly noticeable. Here's a few pic's so you can see how smoked and how tight a fit I got
