if they were glass yeah, but the headlight lenses are plastic, i don't think a few mm would insulate much... as for the tails, mine are holding up just fine, and the tint is not exposed to the elements or to anything that might scratch them.
everyone has their own method i guess, i personally hate dealing with clear coating *****, it never looks perfect to me, so i'm an inside tinting of lights kind of guy...

guess it's a moot point now anyway since it's done, but if its glass you can probably get the tint off pretty easily and try to take them apart and do it from the inside, since you're not having much luck with the clear coat and all that anyway...
right now though i would concentrate on getting your transmission sorted out!

I think Im going to just bite the bullet and take it to transmeister in anaheim (I think). I know for sure theyre reputable and its worth it to have the benz be reliable again.

$2400 tho...

What an A-Hole. I have mine half tinted grey not black but it turns orange/yellow when i put my turn signals so i've never been pulled over for that. I think ur headlights are the problem too...check this out http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/streetlegal.html

by the way use denatured alcohol to remove the tint since it won't damage the plastic....

oh and the 21st of this month is my B-Day and the one thing i want is a battery and tires to get my car running again. or at lest run legally i have changed out one tire. the one in the trunk kinda went boom becuz it was so far gone and the heat wave made my tires warp. witch in turn made them ware abnormaly. *sighs* some times i want to kick the crap out of my car.but then i remeber how much i love it and let it go.or hit one of my friends for telling me to put it on pimp my rides.
