I had mine tinted by Jonstintedtails.com. He's done many for me. I wish I could get my son to put up some pics but take my word they look awesome! He bought me a new set and had them tinted for my birthday. His friend just bought a new JSB coupe and I gave him my original set to get tinted and when they come back he'll return his take-offs to me. You'll love it.
the tinted ones were just delivered today. I'm going to try and figure out how to install them and I'll have the stock ones for you by tomorrow.
thanks again.

Since the online film kits are so cheap and thin (and are too small to cover the entire surface area) I chose to go to a professional tint shop.
The shop measured each marker individually, cut a template, then generated the thicker, darker film and installed it perfectly in about a half hour for $60. They even gave me the template for future use.

Google "niteshades" or better check ebay. I would post link but mods crack down serious on that but it is easy to find. It is a spray that is made for lenses. It is easy to use and you can do your taillights and side markers, front headlights, everything. The best part is the taillights dont dim out like when you put the acrylic covers or the tint so it is even better AND CHEAPER.
If you google it, it will show examples on lots of cars and if done correctly, they look just as good as the acrylic. I will be doing another set next wend and I am just going to use painters tape and a car cover and I will paint them on the car. Call me crazy but I have some skills....
There you go, 15 dollars to blacken them out and I imagine they can be reversed pretty easily.
