I'd like to LIGHTLY tint my rear clear blinkers, so that it looked stock like the old AMG versions. I've seen the tint that you can get off ebay that is a vinyl overlay, but it looks too dark for my taste. any ideas?

I am debating on my white c300 to tint the whole tailight, just the white turn signal, or just the red area. Oh the agony. Can anyone photoshop that for me (preferably on a white c) but beggars can't be choosers. Also, I don't like them dark, I guess either light or medium tint.

what was used to tint? what percentage? outside or inside? i love the look and i'm very interested

Here is a picture of my tint but mine is a little different becuase the tint is a thick layer Vinyl sticker witch is cut in a way that it wont bubble, with the tail light design that we have in most cases they bubble on the inside after 6 months trust me my friend with the same c-class had to go back 3 times so they made it differently on mine. 2 pieces its cut out on the outside and than another cut on the inside.

on my black c i tinted just the white part, looks really good. simple spray on stuff i found at autozone

looks cool but whoa, what about your reverse lights?

They still shine through the spray

I personally prefer to get all the bright red out rather than reverse lights but thats just me, your looks pretty dam good

Arjy

yea, the spray is on light enough that the reverse lights still shownthrough, and just to be sure I got special high output bulbs for my reverse lights, working great so far

I thought the bright red tail light looked weak so I sprayed it 5 coats with nightshade and 2 clear coat after. I like it now but got pulled over once cuz its obviously dim at night driving next to other cars. Reverse lights and brake lights are fine though. I will post pix soon.

Those tail lights look sharp. I have a white car as well. When you say tint, do you mean you used that film or do you mean painted? And if it's the film material that everyone else is referring to, do you have it only covering the red areas and if so, does the fact that you have 2 strips increase the possibility that it may deteriorate quicker, or peel off? i.e. near the border on the white lense where there's no film?

Thanks.

My bad, sorry. I should have read the rest of the thread to know that you sprayed them.

I'm torn on the tail lights. I want the brabus lines, but wont go with the black painted chrome template. I'm thinking of hiring a proshop to paint the outlines black for me. I think it'll look good on white. And then perhaps after that, do a light tint on the whole tailight? Any thoughts?

I emailed Brabus about the tail lights and this is the reply I got: "As for the taillights you see on the BRABUS Bullit those were OEM taillights painted and smoked, not a BRABUS part we offer for sale. "

Any thoughts on how to replicate that look as closely as possible without having to take apart and paint from the inside?
