I have used spray tint on some auto lights before, and they came out pretty darn good. It looks really dark in your pic, but I'm sure since there led's it's still pleanty bright ? Have you tried to hook it up to see how bright it is with the tint on it ?

With the led's I bet it will be fine..... I used it on some clear lensed fog lights, and it barely made a difference in the light output, at least from what I could tell. I was thinking about spraying my lenses on my undertail, but there not very bright as it is so I have decided to curb the idea for the time being. Did you get your tail fairing in yet ?

:-/ Cross your fingers you don't get rear ended. There is hardly what I'd call a tail light there, and you just made it darker. People have a hard enough time seeing me, I certainly wouldn't want to make it even harder.

I'm actually thinking about swapping out my stock bulbs with LED's. Just so it's still the same housing, just brighter. Anyone know what kind of bulbs they are?
