Mike works his magic again!! Very nice! If you are going to tint it IMHO, do it lightly so you don't take away from how nice the lights look.

Insane. So as of now, I only know of you two with white rear turn signals. Let us know if you guys ever get pulled over for it, hahaha.

Btw Mike, how long does it take you to do one? It seems so time consuming to me, if I recall correctly, it's 18 SMDs in each?

What percent is your tints? .. I had 20% on my pre-lci might tint these lighter at 30 and its removable so I could always take them off but if the rods show I'll leave them on

I want to get LCI's soon and I'm still tossing up if I want to tint them. I'd probably roll stock for a while and if I get tired of it tint them, probably not paint them.

I'm lost?? Are you tinting the actual outside of the lens? Is there a specific tint used or is it pre cut to size? I have an Armor brand (yellow) film over the head lights of my P-Car that was cut specifically to the headlights. Is this the same thing here?

How are the above guys getting the tint look to the tails..?

Thanks

The tint shop I go to use a special tint film and apply it.on the outside of the tail lights so they are removable just like the tint on the windows .. You could get the lights sprayed tinted to but thats permanent .. Im going to.do them like the pre-lci tails in my sig
