98 Stock tail lights- tint?

USAFChrisA · 01-15-2007, 11:57 AM

Hey, i have a 98 v6 and was thinking about maybe getting a second pair of tail lights and tint them with the lens paint they sell on AM. Does anyone know if this stuff is worth it or am i just wasting time and money?

buy smoked tail lights it cost more but they are DOT approved

Ehhhh, i can get some silver lights for 40 dollars and the spray is only like 20... I think its worth a try at least... i dont really wanna buy smoked ones at the moment. Does the spray last or does it come off easily

I have no experience with them. But i would not get the spray buy the tint ad put it on. B/c you can pull the tint off if you dont like it.

Yeah i was looking at the tint that you can put on as a sheet but was thinking that it might peel. Has anyone ever experienced this. Im really not too worried about messing up the tail lights as i am purchasing a new set. If i mess up i can basically just throw them out and lose 50 bucks, not too big of a risk. Where is a good place that you can buy the tint?

I've only ever seen one 'review' of the spray on tint, and it was less than satisfactory.

96-98 taillights have curves that won't allow tint to stick to them and look good. I was looking into this, and everyone said spray on tint is the only way for 96-98s.

Haha, maybe ill just leave them as is and save myself the time and money! Seems like its just going to be a hassle and im not even sure if im going to like it enough. Ill put this idea on hold
