    The label removed all liability from them Also ANY modifying of a DOT approved product is illegal, oem taillights went through strict testing to be approved...

    If you've ever had to deal with DOT, OSHA, UL listed, etc. then you'll understand the process and paper trail of every single part and piece of equipment used by anyone in america...kinda crazy when you think about it.

    I know. That's why I keep using the term, "technically." Lolol. I'm still doing it. Just not covering the whole lens. Later, QD.

    i'd just do a light tint over it all. VHT used to make a Window Tint spray but i think they changed the name of it to Nite-Shades.

    Note to DIY window tinters, that's what you use on the sun dots on your rear window, you vinyl up to the first row of dots then spray the top few inches...otherwise it's a bitch to scrape off the dots and i laugh at people that try to tint over them
