Use:



It's VHT Night shade. It's what's most commonly used for tinting lights. I don't have mine done yet, but I have a can on order (it's illegal up here, so you can't buy it in stores..had to get it online). There are a few people on the forum with it done though.

Are you wanting to black them out or candy a set? If blacking them use the above product. If wanting to candy them they is a seller on ebay that sales transparent film in different shades that works really well.

i could sell you a set the only thing is you would need to use red bulbs because they were originally a set of clear lenses

I'm actually doing mine tomorrow. I also went with VHT Nite-Shade, and bought some Krylon Gloss clear.
Has anybody tinted their 3 brake light?

Just one, since I sprayed them, the black has worn off a bit.
