If you are looking to just apply tint film, then any film will work. If you are asking about applying a paint to tint them, then you will have to go to an auto/body paint supplier and have them mix you up a special batch of tinted clear-coat.

Stick with higher grade tint and not the auto parts store junk if you are set on just using tint film. You can go straight to a tint shop and buy some directly or you can order some online.

Yes, you just apply it over the tail lights. Very easy to apply and just as easy to remove.

Use a credit card or something similar to apply the Lamin-X to avoid air bubbles.

it looks good, but you can tell that íts a tint, looks kinda dull.

painted lights look much clearer.

but still a good option, looks good
