These pics mostly explain the process.. but in a muddled up order.

Pic 1: pretty much how I sprayed them (but in garage floor)
Pic 2: End result during day.
Pic 3: Before shot, when they FIRST came out.

Seriously speakign though man, hypocritically, I can't stress how much of a "cop bait" factor this is. I'm always being looked at by the cops.

Checking up on ebay:
R/H Tail Light for VS Commodore = $30 buy it now price. Get a left hand one for $30 and ya laughin!
$60 bucks beats getting defected?

i've never been hassled by or defected by cops for my lights, nor had trouble getting it past rego, and ive had tinted lights on 3 of my commodores over thelast 6 years.....they look so much better than standard...

Oh they do look excellent, you got any pics of yours.

I was just talking to Hakhawk via msn, saying im tempted to buy another set of lights, and have a bit of experiment to see how dark I can get them, so the light still shines through.

Ive got 2 sets of tail lights just incase, so i can swap them over if i get defected. But the set that it on now are really dark, but they still shine a fair bit of light through, still clearly visible

Do you need to tint? You can paint them a nice deep red again, using red glass paint.
