Looks very nice. What did you use to tint them like that?

I wish i would of taken pictures, I used Ace Hardware Stain Glass Window Tinting type spray. Just pretty much looked for a red clear spray paint. I then taped off all around the light and taped of the reverse part (it is illegal to tint in WA) and then cut out around that section by using the grove that is there (from when the clear part was put into the red part i guess). It went fast did it at 11:30 and night, let dry the next morning then put them back on. I did 2 light coats and one heavy one (just make sure the surface is very clean and you have no one kicking up dust cause now i have a couple specks) and the amber is 100%gone. Looks nice! And its a little darker cause the red is a little darker. If i ever want to go darker i have the night shades stuff too...

Very nice. Much better alternative to altezza tails IMO.
