autobadges.com has them

they take about 30 mins for me and my friend to do them

put soap and water in a spray bottle and spray the tint slightly to be able to move them around until they fit where u want them

the kit comes with this blue squiggy thing u press it up against the tint and get all the water and soap out of the tint and let it dry for a couple of hours

it fits perfect to our tailights and looks amazing after it is all said and done

its really not that bad
allot easier with a friend so he can hold it in place so it does not slide with the curves of our tailights

Mine did'nt come with any tools and I did it dry.I just took my time and was very carefull.It took about a week for all of the little bubbles to go away.Would have been easier if it was warmer than 35 when I did mine but I can never wait to install anything.Got mine from autobadges.com too.

I've heard that the one's from Ebay don't fit right and have to be trimmed.

a buddy of mine used some spray stuff, cost him like $9, did it a year ago and it still looks awesome, can also be used on the headlights.

Yea I saw a taillight like that and it looked pretty good for just a few bucks. I dont know if I would like the tinted taillights or not. Where do you get that spray tint stuff at?

Ill ask him tonight, the thing is you can put as dark as you like, it take about 3-4 coats to get a blackout look, so one or two passes would prolly give you a nice darker tint. Im gunna get whats left of his can tonight, Ill give ya the name when I do.

i've had both. The overlay from autobadges and the spray on. I like the spray on alot better, it looks alot cleaner up close. I had mine professionally sprayed by tintmytaillamps.com. Might be a little more expensive, but they did a hell of a job on my tail lights and 3rd brake light.
