what do you's guys think of these homemade tailight tints? they look normal in the sun but well tinted when its dull, or in a shadow and wont get you into trouble

what i done was put loads of black stripes i got free from sticker people across them, like the vw scirrocos white ones to give it a darker look. you cant really see them in the pics though :(

Quick point to the admins, the pics don't work, getting a 404 not found on the images.

I put tights over my taillights for a while for the tinting effect...they looked better than expected even up close....only when you touched them could u tell they were stolen from the mother...Took them off after a while though because they were starting to look a bit rough after being washed several times..

Theyre not bad actually although it needs a dark car to carry it off.

I agree with adam on that one....mines white..it looked ok but wasnt willing to leave it tinted hence the use of tights instead of spray
