Smoked/Blacked Taillights thoughts ?

First mod done, smoked blacked out taillights look good or should I redo them and make the center white/clear while doing the outside red area black if that makes sense ?

I kind of like it with the white left in the middle but still looks good the way you have it.

Did you remove the lights to spray? What did you use and how hard do you think it is to remove?

Sorry for all the questions but answers would be appreciated!

No, I didn't remove the light I just taped it and tucked it in, can't tell its tint honestly it looks really good. Was a 12.99 can of spray on tint from pep boys. I did it on a buddy's car and he got pulled over to take it off we just sprayed goof off and brushed/wiped it off with a towel and then some all purpose cleaner. All good. I'll take more photos closer if you want ?

I just did mine and left the middle open. I like the look of both to be honest.

I have a set but haven't installed as I am thinking I would get ticketed.

Here is a picture with the reverse light on, I did about 3 coats of VHT Nightshade. You can see the edge also it looks really good in my opinion. One can cost $14 and was enough to do 3 cars with and my sidemarkers.
