Here's mine- before and after. As you can see, I just did the indicators and side lights. Rear lights will follow when I get a spare hour or so. The after photo is not great and they actually look better. I thought about making them darker still but am worried about blocking out too much light (though little light seems inhibited so far)

BEFORE



AFTER



As I said, a good result for just $17!

I might do that, but if I do, I will make mine darker and also do the rears. Thanks for the pics.

Yes, the rears will follow though I'm still undecided on if to tint the orange AND the red. With the fronts, I amazed how much light they still let through with one coat so another coat is not out of the question yet just to make them that much darker (i think the picture makes them look lighter than they actually are...maybe I'll test it on some glass first. The side lights removed easily as did the head-lamps so doing one coat, re-installing and then removing for another would be no major extra effort.
