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.

That looks a lot better than I thought it would Jersey. Any tips? May play with my extra said of corners and see if I can't get them looking right.

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?
