Finished taillights :-)

so I finally finished tinting my tails & 3rd brake light after spraying and wetsanding and spraying some more, they dried a little darker than I wanted, but over all im happy! All I really have left is to polish and wax and they will be even more shiny! But tell me what ya think, The pictures show with lights off, marker lights on, and brake lights. Think im gonna try and find some brighter bulbs just to help brighten em up some.

thanks for the compliments guys....I used this product that I picked up from a hobby shop called "Custom spray laqcure - Transparent Black window tint"

They use it to tint the windows on RC cars & trucks, but it worked well on the taillights on my friends truck so I tried it, stuff is kinda high comes in a 3oz can for a little over 5 bucks, but I like it and it works.

They look darker than they really are from that angle, but you can see red in them during the day and lights still shine through fine, might wetsand a little bit to brighten em up some, but not much, ive seen darker too

They look about the same darkness as mine. They are dark but still visible for the tail lights and brake lights...what I dont like is not having really functioning reverse lights. I used VHT Nightshades for mine. I think Im gonna get me some Black LED taillights.
