tinted my tail-lights tonight at work!
i managed to break a bulb in the process, but pep boys was still open!
here's the pics!
b.t.w. no brake light mod shot's, i didn't have anybody with me to press the brake, those are just the running lights!

Looks great!

Now, just remove the "Cooper" and you'll have a really smooth look.

Wow! looks real really cool. I think it compliments the roof very well. I wonder how tinting the 3rd brake light would look like.

You ever want to get those black side markers @ CTD

Still contemplating the extra rear brake mod but should have the tailights tinted the same day as the rest of the windows.

it's highly recommended!

nfo,

Could I find the "jumper wire" needed for the brake light mod at a Radio Shack.
Items needed: jumper wire and electrical tape.

Is this correct?

nfo: does that include a piece for the high mounted third brake light? It doesn't look like it, but I thought I would check anyway.
