Those turned out really good.

I can imagine the 14/15 models are a real pain in the ass to do with vinyl film.

When I had my windows tinted, I had them tint the tail lights, reverse lights and side markers. They said the hardest part was removing the bezels, which after taking them off to paint myself isn't that hard.The taillight tinting itself was relatively cheap. Also really easy to remove if you ever need to. (Moved states and had to remove it myself)

yea the 14/15 models are crazy hard to do a good tint. I would recommend this method to anyone!

Yeah for the 14/15 models I would without a doubt go with a spray on tint like VHT Nightshades instead of something like lamin-x. Those turned out really good though! This was the third or fourth time removing the bezels for me and now I am so used to it I can have all four off in under a minute or so.
