iv tinted my rear lights yesterday with the red spray i bought off ebay and they have come out real good! just as i wanted, all red with a gloss as i applied a layer of laquer on top too,
trick is to put the lights in the oven on low bake for a few mins, then what i did was to put it on the car and let it dry with the wind, since yesterday the paint has settled and went more red!
it sank in and i love it! il get some pics up shortly!

When I do mine, I spray them outside, then bring them inside immediately. Drying outside (unless really sunny) is not good... makes them go 'misty'.
Don't think I'd go as far as putting them in the oven though!
All red lenses look cool...

Kam....looks good I think mate.
Not quite as red as some, but looks smart. If it were any 'redder' you'd have no amber lighting through.
I didn't do the reverse light on mine...but doesn't matter. You don't need it for the MoT anyway.
There's no way you can get the look of the MHW units, they use coloured perspex (or whatever!) and you can't match that, same with the smoked lights.
Enough bullshit...they look good!!
Where are you and Nadz based.....I wanna see your cars/my old car?
You boys come to the Lakeside meet? that will sort eveything!

i got the tint spray off ebay uk, just type in tint light spray in the search and it should come up
nav, dont worry u cudnt make it, sorry to hear you had a grevience.
years a go when i was 16 there used to be a dolphin grey sport at my college and that was done nicely - nice drop and azev a's, he had all red rear lights and it looked awesomely perfect and i promised myself if i ever bought an e30 that colour i wud do the same!
i think it goes with the colour of the car, just want some different rims now!
