So I saw an eclipse today who flat blacked his tail lights, signals, etc. I don't think the light will get through the flat black paint well enough, but has anybody tried that tint stuff on them?

If you use Folia Tec tail light spray it's a one coat application & they have various colors.
Just took my tinted tails off as bought some later spec JDM's. I have something i use for headlights but it's not a spray so doesn't chip etc & will also allow you to colour match to your car. -------------------- My Celica Is Now For Sale

How do you get on at MOT time with tinted headlights? And does it make them any dimmer - my headlights are like candles even with PIAA bulbs
