Thumbs up Tinted Tail Lights

Hey guys. I had my Tail lights tinted yesterday. I told them I wanted them light but I think they are too light.. I wanted them a bit darker.. You cant hardly tell they are tinted unless I point it out. I want them just a tad bit darker. I dont want them dark, just enought to notice with the untrained eye. I am going to tint the headlights as well. Probably a little darker then this aswell. Here are some pictures that I took. One pic is when I took the lights out and they were clear. The other two are after I installed them with the tint. What do you guys think?

When you look @ it you can tell it tinted unless you know the car.. The guy said it was 3 coats of tint. I think I want about 2 more. It will look tinted lightly and have a slight contrast against the whit paint.

Yes It is permanet. It is just like auto Paint. will last just like a paint job would.. Its automotive clearcoat.
