"tinting" front bumper lights

Want to do it, but dont know if it'll look good. Anyone done it before?
Also, how do you take out the front bumper lights?

To remove: use a flat blade screwdriver and pry up the front of the side-marker light where it meets the front-marker light. Or, in other words, stick the screwdriver between the two pieces and try to pop off the front part of the side-marker. It's not held in with screws or anything. The front-marker is held in with one screw. (at least this is how it is on my 96)

There's instructions. I haven't read them in a while so I'm not sure if I mention this, but no matter how many coats you use (if youre tinting clear lights, it only needs 2-3) put the coats on light, even, and WAIT between coats. At least a few hours in the sun. ALways do as many clear coats as you do tint ...

Tinting on the inside looks gay, IMHO. You get black lines where the lens meets the housing lip,
