Default Finally did it, Red Tailights

I've personally never been a fan of euro lights, so after much hesitation I went ahead and tinted the taillights red. I used VHT night shades and clear, I sprayed a little too much red and went a bit darker than planed but unless the police gives me any trouble I'll leave them as is.

VHT nightshade tint is horrible after a couple months. If I were you I would remove the lights and pour some paint thinner or gas to remove it before it ruins the lights. I did the same thing to my previous car and it looked terrible after a couple months.

Some of my friends have had tinted taillights for over a year with no problems.

Are you sure? I can shoot a pic from a different angle or light, please reconsider, my life makes no sense if you hate them!
