Default Walmart Tint

I am going to pick up some window tint after work tomorrow from walmart. I want to tint my front signal lights and the rear reflecters. I know it is cheap and it won't last long, but I just want to see how it would look. My question is what percentage should I get so it will be as black as it could be, but still show the front signal lights.

Please take some pictures because I was thinking of doing the same thing. You can get a whole roll of tint at walmart for like 8 bucks. I would also suggest trying 20% to start.

Do you apply the tint on the inside or outside? Did you take the pieces off to tint them, or did you do them on the car?
