I used tint, instead of paint..how does it look??

its not perfect, which sucks
if I use the water/soap/alcohol with it, is it possible to get all the bubbles out?

should I just paint them??
and if I paint them, is it easy to make them look good??

Sorry Donald, but with all the bubbles those look terrible. It might be a workable solution if you could get the tint to lay out properly on the lights, but I would be worried about the material wearing. It's designed to be on the inside, and on glass.

if you can work out the bubbles i think it looks great...plus if you get tired of it you can just peel it off...time to pull out the blow dryer and massage those bubbles out

The water/soap is specifically so you can squegee out the air bubbles.

To me, tinted lenses it depends on the color of the car.

I would leave them stock, or just do a slight nightshade on them. I think the firebird lenses look fine as is. They don't have the HUGE turn signals like the Camaro's, that mess up the look. I think the tint, especialy with bubbles still in it, just looks cheap.

Again, maybe about three thin coats of Night-Shades. I didn't really use any sandpaper since the lights, but I scrubbed them clean and then I scuffed them a little with a scotchbrite pad, and then sprayed a plastic adhesion promoter on them (like a clear primer) before I hit them with the Night-Shades.

i night shaded my formula tail lights and i couldnt be happier with them i just cleaned them really good and threw a couple coats on them i have pics in my garage part of here. on a side note how would the tint stand up to the elemants and heat from the taillights in the long run ?
