140 dollars inst that a bit much. You could have wrapped them yourself right? I have stock tails that I was planning on wrapping but mayb we should trade. How dark are they tinted?

Thanks

this is 140 to wrap right! What makes it so hard to wrap the gen 2 lights, been looking into doing this for a while. Any pointers would help.

I ts a big PAin in the RSE to get the film to stick to the lens , so the cost is Not for the film but for the hours and expertize of using a heat gun and getting it to un bubble properly with out looking.cheap...i quit and used the VHT nite shades, which is more time consuming but also looks good and like any sprypaint, can be wiped off with paint thinner, to go back to stock(IF you didnd sandthe the tail light prior to spraying) just my two cents. 8) i stopped at my 25th tailight set. i have one set in the closet half finished.
