    Alright mate there are a few ways of tinting your tail lights depends on how much you wana spend the cheapest being get yourself down to halfords, wilco, motorworld etc and buy a can of tail light tint for about £8 last time i checked and apply light coats until you get a good shine or the tint you require or the go the irmscher route saw these for sale in tv for about £130 and the coupe/gsi lights i bought mine off ebay cost about £70 delivered simply take front bumper off undo the three bolts and swap bulbs over and reverse process. Hope this helps!!

    Other option is to paint them using a gun.

    I masked my reflector, scotched down the lense then painted it Audi black with a few light coats. Next removed the marking tape and laquered the whole light.

    Look black off



    But clearly show light when on

    Roll on Billing 2012 the dodgems are coming!!
