The people who smoked their own amber bumper lights I am looking for some pictures of what it looks like.

Also can you explain how it was done? Like what kind of paint? Is the paint on the exterior just sprayed on?

Any advice would greatly appreciated

You can use night-shade spray paint. special paint used to tint headlights/ taillights and many other things. Probaly 1-2$ more then the average can. If not the same price. i dont know i never used it myself but i've seen it being used. Looks just like normal paint

custom enterprise sells it for about $10. I havent used it but it is pretty simple. It is transparent, used like regular spray paint. The more you use the darker they will get.

What are you talking about? I am talking about the bumper lights on the bumper there no AE style for those. Just clear and black chrome and your own custom smoked ones.

Does walmart or advance auto sell this so called transparent paint?

And also if I spray this on and dont like it, can I remove the paint with paint remover without damaging the plastic light?

I used nite-shades on my girlfriends taillights. It works great. At night you wouldn't even know they were tinted. The problem I had was getting it shiny. I don't know much about painting either. I also used clear coat to keep it from fading. But it is still a dull black instead of a shiny finish.

I got black chrome ones now but the smoked one seem to catch my attention I guess because it is unique to your own preference
