Rear Tail Light Tint
 
I took my 2012 e350 by the local tint place and they had the car for 6hrs. At the end of the day they could not get around the bubble in the rear tail lights to get the tint to lay flat. Yours look awesome. Any tips or suggestions to find somebody that can tint these odd shaped rear tail lights given their bubble/bulge on the corners of each rear tail lamp? Thanks!

They sprayed mine. The W212 rear lights shine brighter than most cars that the lights shine fine even with the tints.

Painting them is the way to go! If the car is leased than obv vinyl tint it is.. My opinion medium tint is perfect, at night looks dark but still classy, in sunlight looks cherry. On a white car def leave the "white strip in the center" white.

Painting is the way to go if you know a painter than does them. I had my show truck done in 1993 and they still look superb today.

Not a big fan for smoked tailight for the W212.
