GS tail lights tint

[ecarca]

I went to tint the tail lights this morning. I chose a very slight tint so it still looks OEM but a tad nicer. We just used regular local film. Here are the pictures:

Both sides done:

Thanks C!
I wanted something just a bit darker but not too much. It is also a bit glossy so it give the lights a nice finish, they kind of look brand new and maybe slightly more modern as a result.

It's a special one for lights. It comes in rolls that are about 30 cm wide (12 inches). It could be a DYI job but I preferred to let a professional do it since they have much more practice. You surely can purchase it on Ebay.

Thanks P!
I considered doing the front ones too but they have this seal around and since you have to cut the film, I did not want to take the risk cutting through the seal. They do not really need to be tinted but I almost tried

Mine is from Taobao, that is the Chinese Ebay. I just looked on Ebay and what you want is something like that:

Mine looks like this one. It looks darker because there are 2 protective layers, one on each side, but it looked the same. You can do a quick research to decide on which one you want.
