Default Modified my rear lights

Having finally up/downgraded my hawkeye rear lights to blob rear lights I though I'd change them slightly and have now carefully lightly tinted the silver part & fitted chrome bulbs.

Quite pleased with the look. Vast improvement over how the car looked before!

Looks superb mate, fancy trying this on my blob wagon. What tint did you use? Did you mask the red area off or paint the whole unit?

Not painted. Used window tint film on the clear area only and trimmed with a scalpel. Don't get me wrong it was a very difficult and time consuming job done with film but I wanted it looking top notch!

Have used spray on other cars but it will look a lot darker than I wanted.
