Sprayed tinted tail lights and Mirror lights. (pics)

So today I spray tinted my tail lights and mirror marker lights on my F350. Here is what I did. Cleaned them with grease and wax remover twice. Sprayed them with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter. Then sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Lens tint. I let them sit about 30 mins and then cleared them with some Nason Clear for longevity. I think that they turned out pretty nice. What do you think?

Looks great! I love that look and think it would look really good on my white SD.

Around here cops look for ANY reason to pull people over and in most states messing with driving/tail lights is worth a heafty fine. That and I don't want to create an accident because the guy behind me could not see my tail lights

Exactly the reason I have not done it. If I got rear ended, even if the tinted lights weren't the reason, I could see them saying that they were messed with and it made them less easy to see and have it cost large. I'm not willing to take that chance. Now the mirror lenses I'm doing as soon as I get some nice weather!

I had a buddy do mine with an automotive clear and some tinting black. It actually is a mice finish. I didn't go to dark and replaced standard bulbs with LED's to make up for the difference.
