Tinting Taillights

Tinting the side lights turned out so well, now I am thinking about tinting the rears when I take them out to fix the condensation issue.

They are clear right now, but am thinking w/ the deep blue color that a dark tint will look better than the clears.

What do you guys think?

Just about positive I will tint them, not 100% sure yet.

I've got my red ones tinted. If I switch over to clear tail lights, I'll probably have them done, too. The smoke tint on mine has a slight brownish tint - you can only tell in the area where the reverse bulbs are. If you get a tint with a bluish tint, that'd be pretty amazing. You can see the slight brownish tint in this pic:



But it isn't usually noticeable:

Mine was done professionally, which I'd highly recommend. As far as I understand it, they basically mixed black into clear coat to create the tint. I'd suggest talking to a shop that can do it.
