Seeing as your doing the it the same coulur as the rest wouldn't hurt to do all the lights, unless you want to mask it off.

I did it with black tint on the clear sections and masking off the rest. Very easy to do
You will need to make sure you do not spray over the reflector sections if you do it all.

Yeah thats my car.

Tried it on the car first but the paint runs.

Then took the lenses off and laid them out flat and is much better. This has to be done. Just make sure to get uniform tint across all four.
Did the sidelights too. They have to be done too. Looks much better.

thanks mate ....just waiting on the tint spray now

How do you get the lenses off? :S ... im trying as we speak, no clue, is it those bolts that are impossible to get a good angle on?

 

[LEE69]

More than likely yes, not done mine but i'd guess they are 8mm nuts.
