tail light tint?
Im sure this is a fair bit more advanced then you would like, but if you would like to get an outstanding look from your tail lights, try painting them with a "tinted" clear coat:
Using 1500 Grit sand paper, wetsand the tail lense
Clean it with a paint thinner
Get a quart or so of clear, and a bit of black pigment.
Mix the two together untill the clear has a slight tint, or is dark enough to your desire of tint.
Spray it onto the tail lights with about 2 coats.
Allow to cure for approximately 2 days,in the sun.
Wetsand again with 1500 or 2000 grit sand paper, and use a buffer wheel.
They will be beautifully tinted and glisten like you have no idea.
Hope this helps.
