Is that the darker or lighter film? 
They are not dark enough for my taste but it looks good none the less. 
Thanks Deb! Is that the darker or lighter film? They are not dark enough for my taste but it looks good none the less. If the sun were high noon, or behind a cloud, they'd look a bid darker. I'd equate the degree of darkness to the GPS (?) hard plastic tint used for headlights/taillights.

Nice Longhorn...
I almost cut my brakelight tint like that, then decided to leave it off (just tinted the 'reverse lights')! I'd REALLY like to see some pic's of that when it's done... kinda like one idea that I never really followed through on...
Good Luck!

Here's a link to some pics of my tinted (reverse) lights!! I used the Lamin-X product (in their store under 'uncut sheet' measuring 6" X 12"- quantity of 2 sheets, for $32 delivered) to complete the job. This cost was to my door, and shipping, although pricey, was blazing fast!
So far, I love it!!! The only problem I have is that I didn't order enough to complete the task at hand!
The product, itself, is self-adhesive and 17MM's THICK!!! Even still... the material becomes very plyable when heat is applied (with a blowdryer) and actually conforms to the lens contours very well
. The adhesive is VERY tacky and it seems as if it will stay on for quite some time. Please note this IS NOT window tint!!! It's literally 50x thicker!
I may just leave the brake lights alone and get a RED bowtie for the rear... we'll see. Check out some pics ---> http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/hrc_f3...db9re2&.src=ph
So far- this ride is still (technically) "Legal".
Let me know what you think.

As long as the emitted light is red in color and can be seen from 500 feet away. Found the info here......
