i took mine to a tinting place that does business through a body shop. the jus mix a little bit ov black with some clear and use a spray gun. its only $100 for all three lights. i used that spray night shade on my buddies cars and it turns out fin. not as good but worth it for the price. spray as many layers as you want on the light, depending on how dark you want them, but paint them all at the same time next to eachother so u can see that theyre even. an make sure u use a full can because the bottom of the cans paint tends to turn the lights gray.

This is a new one for me...pls clarify the process?
1. take off the light cover, spray it with 1+ coats of 1part blk/3 or 4parts clear - ON THE INSIDE?;
2. wet sand, then 2+ coats of clear...thats it?
What wud happen if u used a satin clear coat? Think it'll work on the fronts too?

actually believe it or not, they are still pretty bright...i was skeptical on this so i did a medium shade if you will and my friend did dark and i wish i went dark also...
