Toss your tint and buy overlays from bigworm?

Maybe take a sheet of paper and draw our the outline, transfer that to the tint and then cut?

Check this out, its not thin like the tint you might be using but it works all the same. Very easy to go on and lasts long.

Have you tried removing the lights first? It takes a few seconds with a flat screwdriver.

Looks good now paint those silver rings black and you're all set. Want an idea on what it will look like?

Grab one of them and pull on it, they snap right off in seconds. They will only fit back on one way so no worries there. Just line up the valve stem and the hole on the trim ring.

Every since I pulled mine off I've hated them lol. Maybe it's just because I know they're made of plastic now
