Just put some window tint on them it will look good, i do have a used full set that i have tinted myself with window tint, the reason i have them is i bought the AACstyle painted black led sidemarkers and dont need the tinted ones. $50 shipped. when installed they are dark and look good on a black camaro. if you buy them i will redo them with new tint.

How does the window tint made for the inside hold up on the outside? I did think about going this route, but didn't think they would hold up without fading or peeling.

I had them on the car 1 1/2 years and they still look good no fade or scratches and i have pressure washed it a few times no problems at all. the tint is tuff. I tinted them while on the car but with them off i could redo them much better and get the edges perfect.

I get my tint for my lights from here:
http://www.chauffeperformance.com/index.html Really nice guy and the stuff works great. I've had some on my taillights and sidemarkers for well over a year. Still looks new. I put it on myself. If I can do it, anyone can. He gets $12 for the sidemarker tint: http://www.chauffeperformance.com/pr...idemarker.html |

They both look great... was the spray easy to do? Ive heard horror stories about it in the past.

The only reason I went with the film is that it can be removed without much trouble.
I think the paint looks good. A few people have been stopped for tinted taillights and told to remove it. Not so easy to do if they're painted. |

just clean the lense with wax and adhesive remover and spray it the same way as you would a clear coat. make sure it looks wet without having any runs and you should be good. i only did one coat because i didn't want it too dark. the more coats the darker it will be and it said don't use more than 3 because it will crack easier. i let mine sit in the sun for about a hour then put them back on. any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
