If you do tint them do both lights at the same time i.e. put them side by side and go back and forth across both, this way they will have the same amount of tint on. Also just do 1 coat at a time as when it dries it looks darker than when its wet, I did a light coat on both let it dry then tried them on the car to see if I could still see the lights. I kept repeating this until hay had them nice and dark but could still see the lights :cheesy:

Hope that helps.

It does thanks.... How many coats did it take to get them that dark and how do you know if its legal enough tint?
(Can just picture myself saying not dark enough yet.... then all of a sudden its a bit illegal) lol

Errrmmm..... I think I done about 3 or 4 coats. I just guessed with mine, if the light starts to look a lil bit dull stop.
