as long as you sanded the taillights and cleaned them before tinting it should stick great.
alright, yea last time i did it i did a crappy job... i didn't really sand them much. I didn't even sand the letters off all the way because it was taking forever. Well when I took the tint off, I used an orbital sander, and now the letters are sanded off, so i'll just run over the lens with some 1000 grit prior to painting

what's the cheapest site you found VHT on?
