sell the tint rolls and buy some smoked jobbies - cituning do them for £60 just now
its illegal and mot fail if you do anything like that to rear clusters
looks good, but i wouldnt risk it

yep, agree with Joe. diy tinting will most probably end up looking wank, so why bother when you can have the smoked jewel lights from cituning for only £60 like Joe suggested.

personally i like tinted lights.
doing themyourself gives you a good feeling, but you will find that on all smoked lenses the reflector is showing, i.e. untinted, this means they're LEGAL
you tinting them will mean you cover over/diminish the reflective capability of the lights = ILLEGAL

I was thinking about getting mine colour coded to the same colour as my car, will the police mind that or they going to rape me every chance they get?
