When I had my car's work done, I sent my tails & those reflectors to justinschmidt to tint.
I don't have any good pics of them, huh.

Don't you have to basically take the rear bumper to get them off? I was going to do mine but read something that you have to take the bumper off to get those stupid reflectors off.

The stock ones were held on by those plastic tabs, and with two of them you could probably hand under it for some time as they are tight little sobs.... IF you look at the reflectors top you can see where they are below it. I just took a 1/4" drill and hit both of those spots just enough to break them loose, and then pushed the rest throgh the hole. It was like breaking a spot weld, really easy to do. I put a dab a sillycone in the spot before I pressed the new one in. I F'ed with it today and tried to pick it out with a pick-tool and couldn't so I am happy with it.

Wish I had thought about it, but there has to be a HECK of a mark up on those. IF there are a few of you considering it see if we can get a group-buy together for them!

we have all seen the vht nightshades and I think there is a guy on ebay that sells the vinyl that goes over it as well. These look different in person, not like something that was stuck on later.

I just smoked mine when I did the tails, it was free that way cause I already had the spray, and they came out perfect. Its so tiny so it would be kinda hard to screw up on them

That's what Justin uses. Sent every thing to him. When I got my car back it was all put on.

Up-close pics of mine:

But notice that mine are not all faded, the look shiney and black... They will stay that way too.

Don't really know what that means. Don't let my bad picture taking think mine are bad. Justin did a great job on them! Looks great, just a pic doesn't show it right.
