So I planned on getting Black tinted windows.. changing from mirrored silver because I hate mirrored tint... And I was wondering should I get my headlights and taillights tinted with the same instead of buying them already "black"?

I hear a lot about people on here tinting their own headlights.. Or something like that.

In that case would I just keep my stock tail lights and tint them the same color of my windows?

Yeah the headlights were ordered.. So I was planning on only tinting the tail lights and fog lights (?) the same as I will be tinting the windows...

I personally don't have enough experience to tint something myself so I would get a friend to do it for me, or maybe take it to the shop...

BTW "spray tint" sounds soo cheeseyy and just sounds cheap. lol I've never seen spray tint so I'm not sure how it looks or if that is what most people use on their lights when they tint them I'm just saying what I think of when I hear "spray tint" -cheap and horrible. lol

Just youtube VHT Nightshade! It always looks good and you get to control the amount of tint you want! you can DARK or just a light smoke! And after awhile if you ever decided its looks bad you just wet sand and just do another coat!

Unlike vinly which you will have to replace completely!

remember this man, Tinting equals this, light doesnt pass through.
that also equals this, the person behind you cant see brake lights = crunch
the cops say "Get him!" for to dark of brake lights.
Tinted headlights make it where you cant see as well at night.

Spray tint lets you start out light and work your way darker till your happy with the outcome. They guy who did my 8.8 rear damn near black out his tail lights and you couldnt see his blinker or brake lights during the day at all, thank God for a 3rd brake light lol

Would be my adive to buy a pair of tail light housings from a wrecking yard and tint them, so if you **** it up, you have a stock replacement :)

Spray tint only looks like **** and cheesy if you do it wrong, even though its a very simple process. Do it right and it will look amazing. And you CAN get them back to stock if you need to, it will be a little pain in the ass but its possible, I have done it to my own.

I have spray tinted five sets of taillights and a few headlights... with perfect success every time. A body shop tints lights where I live or $80, and it is sometimes streaky and not 100% shiny. I am able to hit it spot on every time with VHT
