IMO, it looks better than painted, its a even glossy surface, when painted, it might not be even, paints can be thick at one point and less at another, and thru time, tail light paint fades, while tail light tints dont.
and tint films are good because, when your sick of it, or if you (fucccckup!) you can re-do!

is the stickercity film dark?
the thing when using films is that they dont get as dark as some people want.
they give a very dark cherry look, instead of something closer to black.
imo when you tint taillights black it looks a lot cleaner.

Somewhere around here I posted a DIY on tail light tint...
or was it on MBTrash err MBKrass? Another lost post?
Don't get me started...
for the cost of the film, you can paint them for less yourself, and get
professional results.
Takes a lot of elbow grease though.

I used their film to blackout my old WRX. When the car is clean, it looks really good/glossy.
Bottom line...I give them two thumbs up. The film has been on my taillights now 2 years strong.
ps-the blue one

Smoked my tails, Pics inside...
I decided to smoke my s-style tail lights. I'm not sure if i like it more than how it was before but it's already done. What do you guys think? These are just some pics i snapped in the garage.

Maybe its the pics. 
How many coats of clear did you put on?
If you want to "unsmoke" the white part, it is very easy. Get a few Qtips and some acetone. It will come off fairly easy.
Either way, dont take them off. They look better than before.

edit: Acetone is in the nail polish remover right? I used that and it seemed kinda melt the plastic.

That looks much better, Ryan. I’ve joked with the Mrs. that her one ounce of lemon-scented nail polish remover (in a plastic bottle btw) is ~$4. I can get a gallon of the stuff from the paint store for about the same price!

My next project is to get the whole bottom row to light up. I STFF and found that i could just bridge the wire for the rear running lights to the inner bulbs that are for the rear fog. I don't care about losing functionality of the rear fog. Can someone confirm that connected those wires will work without any issues?

sorry dude.. im not a fan of the smoked s-class tails... the only smoked tails that i think look good are the standard c-class tails. s-class taillights look damn good when its just red and white IMO.
