Thanks for the advice. Yea maybe I'll have a professional install them. What should I expect to pay. I called 1 shop and they wanted $160 for both lenses. Why so much if my whole car cost $199 to have done?

why is it just about every place i called to have the tail lights tinted insist using film would result is a horrible out come and insist to have them painted instead? i think i may have them permanently redout the taillights instead of using the crummy film. this way when i turn my lease back in they won't really notice a difference in tail lights as if i returned the car and they were smoked.

i'm interested in the painted vs tint question as well. i know i've heard some people say that paint would be better, but where would you find someone to paint tail lights professionally??

I had the same problem with shops... they told me the tint film would be "horrible".
And if you want to paint your own tail lights... do it yourself!! Or send them to me! ha Cost me maybe $25 and most of a Saturday afternoon. If you have any questions about it or want pic's, let me know.
