I think it looks cool. There needs to a DIY on this. I don't like the exteroir tint stuff, can you take the light apart and put tint on the inside of the lense?

it hard to open the taillights though. you have to bake them to make the sealant loose.

mine are just painted buy a specialist

I can't bake foods that are supposed to baked, let alone a taillight! Forget that! I'll have to talk to a body shop...

dont forget you will lose the reflective-ness of the taillights, which means other cars will not be able to spot you as easily at nights if when your car is parked.....

actually mine in not that heavy so the red parts still reflect when you drive by.

mine also let the lights through pretty well at night. so that they dont seem all that dark at night.

ive had a couple cops behind me at night and no problem. although during the day they would get me for sure

Good find! Too bad you have to remove and send in your taillights That's a few days of downtime at least

One technique we have been using here in AZ is spray on tint that you can pick up from a hobby shop.

A couple light coats....

a diy would be nice, and the stuff you used should be stated in it.
