I'm thinking about just spray tinting the yellow part of my taillight. Has anyone ever done this before, I wouldn't mind seeing how it looks. I have an a cracked taillight sitting in my garage so I'm going to do it on that today to see how looks. Please give me some opinions on this. Thanks guys.

I used Night shades tail light tint on mine, I think it looks good, you said your just spraying the yellow/orange parts though? That will be interesting! I cant picture it but if you do it..post some pics for sure! Theres a pic on my profile of my tint & theres a few listed here from a meet the other day

Alright I got it started, I'm not gonna clear coat since this is only a test, I'll post another pic once it dries in 6 hours and i get the tape off. So far this is what i've done. The flash makes it look a little screwy, but oh well.

Hey guys, it's finished, i just didn't do a clear coat since this is only an extra taillight sitting in my garage. Tell me what you think. I took one pic w/the flash and one without.

Alright I've got in my car so you can see what it will look like all together. If I do this permanently i'll need to clear coat it, but otherwise here's the b4 and after.

My lights are still good. The turn signal is perfect, but I might want a brighter bulb for the red part when my lights are on. That's not a big prioty though. Thanks for the support.
