no get recommended tinting tail cans, like niteshades or anything that says for car taillights, unless you want to get your tails eatin out

Darrick is right those DTM lights look soooo pretty. I wish I cameacross that idea before I had my tails sprayed. But anyways one piece of advice if you go with the Nite Shades route...The finish will not come out glossy nor smooth. More like a rough flat finish. Even if you wetsand it afterrords and then hit it with a clear coat it will not be half as shiny as the tails in my sig picture below. I had mine sprayed black @ a body shop.
