Default tinted tail light

I want to tint my back blinkers red, instead of yellow. I've got a 93 with the really long tail lights. I can't find any tint big enough to cover the whole thing. Is there any random material people can use to do it?


Thanks

I've seen the spray, however I've never seen what it actually looked like. I figured the spray would look gay, but it looks okay?

Most times i hear about the spray, it's some type of stained glass spray you get an any crafts store. Supposedly you spray a couple coats, then clear it and your good to go. I've also heard of a smoke type spray for tinting lens as well. Another method would be to put vinyl tint. I've yet to do this, but these are all the options i've heard.

I've rarely seen ones done with the red paint that looked good. IMO, just leave it.

if it were up to me i wouldnt spray it on yourself. it could end up looking really bad. no offence...unless you are really good at this sort of thing. i would search for a new tailights that you like and buy those. or have someone spray it who is really good.

good luck =]

Hey, found a link to the stained glass spray. It's kind of expensive but if it does the job, it is probably worth it.

Here's some more, it's a bit more expensive, but it is specifically designated for painting your lights. It is around 22 bucks a can.

I look for some other ones as well and update this with the info when i find it.
