Default Help...best way to smoke lights is....

So I've been thinking of smoking the amber only on my headlights and the clear on the tail lights only, not the whole light. What is the best DYI way to do this? Anyone know of or sell precut tint? Can you use regular tint or is there a special vinyl that works better? I've seen some cars that have tinted the whole headlight here in AZ and either due to the heat or quality of the film the tint was all bubbly looking. Any info and DYI info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have spray tint on my tails. I don't think anyone sells pre cut overlays for just those parts.

Buy some of the protective film from Aerotect and do it yourself! I did my taillights and it was pretty cool stuff. Make sure to get the thick stuff like around 20mm and not the 3mm junk you get from ebay.
