tinting corners

Anyone tinted or blacked the corner lights in the front, not the bumper lights but the light adjacent to the headlights? i wonder how it would look...

I did it and it looked horrible. I ended up taking it off a couple days later with nail polish remover. It didn't look right sitting right next to the headlight. It could have been the fact that I have the cloudy 95/96 ones.

I suppose you could always try it for yourself, and take it off later if you don't like it...

I used that tint spray on my clearance (corner) lights. It didn't come out right. It mainly looked purple and just didn't look good. I am about to paint the inside of another set that I have. I might use some nail polish whenever I get the chance. I am just too busy/lazy to do this kind of stuff. Mostly lazy.

they will come out nice but u loose illumination but i think an ae mod to them is perfect in my opinion i would rather keep the illumination and just ae it a to have some kind of black in it and it pairs off perfectly if you have the ae headlights

I used Nite Shades and was able to remove it completely. It took about half an hour of scrubbing, but it came off readily.

If you do it paint the inside of the lense. If you have AE headlights it should match quite nicely.
