Here's my Montego! The last two pics are tinted tails without the 3rd brake light tinted.

It came precut, but you can also buy it to cover the whole tail light assembly!

If I may ask, where did you order your tints from? I am looking to order some as well, and would love to get an idea of where people order theres from. I also don't think I want too dark a tint. I'd prefer a smokey look over the darker tint.

Your tail lights are very visible and really can't tell that the vinyl is on there. It's not a safety issue if that's what you are asking

+1 for tinted tail lights, dark tint and when brakes are applied, everything lights up beautifully.
