Actually I put on 4 coats of tint, and then a bunch of clear.... but one side is lighter than the other... Anyone know how to make the other 1 darker? Would I just put another spray of tint on and clear again or just leave it? Its not 100% noticeable.. but meh. You can see in the reflector picture that one side is darker, but i think its cuz i was off to the left side too much so the reflector caught more light on that side, but suggestions are welcomed :D

last one

but an honest opinion... is the darker tint on one side of the tails that noticable? I'm freaking out cuz i notice it... but thats because I did the work, but anyone else notice anything?

I can only notice it in the night pics (which may just be the angle)

Maybe you might be able to tell from the difference in light output from the tails at night, but during the day they look the same.

I love it :thumbup:

Best mod I ever did, hands down.

Looks nice, but I hope no one rear-ends you because they couldn't see your brake lights.

you can see the brake lights really really good in the daytime and at night.

u didnt tint ur 3rd brake light though...it looks better with that tinted too.

Why would I want to tint that? Its got the overlay on it, so it'll shine through better. I'd rather not tint it... nots not noticable anyway.
