    hey so for my tinted tails were done terribly by my friend and I. one side is darker than the other. only noticeable at night cuz one size has more light output than the other lol. so gonne get some paint thinner and get that part done. just wondering if anyone has used a film to tint their tails and if so where did you get it and was it hard to apply?

    people have used film, but because of the shape of the tails it is very hard to apply.
