You can peel it once, but once you hair dry it down and it starts molding to the light, that's it. You need to spray a lot of soapy water on the light and continue doing so until you get it lined up. Then start heating it and pressing out the water with a squeegee towards the outer portions. The trick is getting no wrinkles on the corner where the light turns.

They don't make them for the entire light due to the little bump we have in the red portion. Again, this is just temporary until the new LED's come out in a smoked color.

Just washed my car, after less than 24 hours of putting on the tint, and they are totally fine. In fact, I used my leaf blower to get all the drops out and still fine when working around the rear lights.

Looks good C!

Haha I think you and I are the ONLY ones who like tinting the clear part and not the red part. Weird isn't it? I'm gonna go ahead and order them today......

Just got some aftermarket LED taillights with the white portion smoked like cmansbimmer's. I like them but may want to smoke/tint the red portion as well. I've read that jonstintedtails does this, but would rather get a film I can apply myself and remove if I don't like it. Anyone know if someone sells this?

I can't believe I reviving this thread. Hahaha! Does anyone know the vendor to get this tint from? I originally ordered it from their eBay store, but they no longer have a store on eBay. However, I do know for a fact they have a website too.

I even believe I posted it over a year ago on the forum. Hahahaha!

Anyone?
