do not use window tint. it is not made of the same stuff, it is not made to withstand the weather, it is not made to adhere to plastic. there is vinyl tint kits made for tail lights, it dont cost much so get something that is made for it and do it right.

Mine are 50% tint. Easy to apply. Do not use window tint. Vinyl kits are the way to go. Try autobadges.com
