    I've been looking at new tail lights to purchase for my 1st gen. A couple days ago a friend of mine suggested I use the Rustoleum spray tint available at Walmart/Lowe's for like $8. I'm seriously considering doing this because I like the look of the original OEM tail lights. The photos I see online of other ppl that have used the spray tint look good. I just don't know if it will last/fade quickly. Anyone have any advice as to weather I should use the spray tint or not? Or just buy new fogged tail lights.

    I feel like tinting a light people are supposed to see it’s the smart, but you do you.

    I was kind of thinking that to, but no harm in asking the question.

    I enjoy when people tint their lights and then complain they're dim.
