Thinking of tinting rear lights. Again.
« on: 26 October 2010, 22:31 »
Has anyone got pics of tinted rear lights?

Want to tint the lights on my mk3 red, but really want to make sure it ends up looking OEM.  I have seen pictures of some which look really quite chavvy (for lack of a better term)

I would be interested to see if anyone here has managed to do this with it looking fairly OEM.

I was thinking red tinting spray, as thin a layer as possible to make them look red, then a few coats of lacquer.

I saw a set on ebay that seemed to have been done well, looking OEM but didn't see them on a car.
