Ight so i plan on tinting my tailights, Ive heard and seen of people just going to walmart and picking up some 20% tint and using silicon glue around the edge to hold it on, will this work good and any pointers would be apreciated.
Thank Adam

lol.. i don't think using tint film is a good idea... get some "nite shades" paint and tint em like that
ya paint works doog as hel... just look out for overspray... it shows bad when your lights are on... and dont paint them at night...
my dumb idiotic moves
use niteshades

ya i know about that spray on stuff but i just dont think it would get it dark enough so i was checking out some old post and i really liked how jigga car looked with the 20% tint from walmart.

o it will def get dark enoghe... if u use a whole can u will be getting your ass rear ended in no time...
dont got to dark... cops and u dont want to loss your project car just cuz u want super as dark tail lights
3 coats of nightshades in the big can will be plenty
i think jigga did that with his tail lights
ya jigga did do it to his taillights and it looks really good so thats what i wanna do to mine but i guess i could just use nightshides.
I would just use niteshades, it will look a lot better up close in my opinion. Not only that you can control how dark they will be. Just be careful about how dark you make them or you will get pulled over. And make sure you take the tail lights off the car and tape them off before spraying them. I have 2 cans od nite shades in my shed, im going to do mine when it gets a little hotter, 7 degrees with a windchill of -3 isnt the best time to be spraying anything.
where can you get night shades
took a whole year but i got the 100th post
yet only took a month to get the 200th

You MUST thoroughly clean your lenses w/ paint prep/cleaner made for plastic. If you want a really good look, wet sand them w/ 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper to polish them out, then buff and clean before painting. I put on about 4-5 coats on mine. I never clear-coated mine so they're starting to look flat, but I still like the effect compared to stock.

Here's what it looks like with the brake lights on and the turn indicator on, in daylight. You won't have a problem at night or daytime, the lights look just almost as bright as stock when they're on.
