i did the ebay tinted film to cover the amber. i would recommend using 2 films at least if you want to do it right. i applied one layer and it just made it dark amber which still looks better than glowing orange color. but it's temporary solution, i'm waiting on deal for clear lights or litronics.

hey pteam that looks nice....gives me an ideal to do over the 4th.... i have the tinted side markers so that would be a great addition... by the way conrad, did you get the remote thing fixed?? did it just need reprograming?

[conradtan]

No, my remote is still dead. I've been too busy. I need to get it done soon. I'm thinking of just getting a whole new alarm with remote start and the works! Apparently there is one that calls or alerts your remote in the event of an alarm. Cool!

I have an alarm like this on my hummer. It'll page your remote and show you what part of the car set the alarm off, it has a motion sensor, and works up to 2 miles away, remote start, everything pretty much. Its real nice, but I dont use it alot only when I go places not around town.

Sorry to bump this, but went to the autoparts store got the darkest tint and took about an hour last night putting it on...it looks great. I have a black car and I think it was worth the $12.00. Dont get me wrong, I would still rather have all clear, but this looks good.

I am completely inept at posting pictures on this site...we'll see. I did have a question, when your guys did it did they do one solid piece or did they break up the tint for the little triagle reflector piece? By the looks of your pictures they did one piece as I did, the only problem is the crack between the two pieces translates through the film......

They did one solid piece. Yea it has to go over the gap but it looks real good I think, theres no crease.

Attached is a very very poor picture, I will see if I can get my real camera this weekend...

the black blends right in with the car

can anyone see your turn signals blinking when you have 1 or maybe 2 layers of limo tint over them?

[djomlas]

or you can do what i did.
2-3 light coats of aluminum silver,a nd clear film over them so that rocks and other things don't lift the paint.
total cost, maybe $7.
and since i hate clear and smoked markers, and definitely dont like orange, i color matched them to the car and took the bulbs out.

but yes you can see them just fine with 1 layer of limo tint, no problem seeing them at all at night.
