Well I just finished the sidemarkers. They look good. Completly blacked out 5%. You can still see the light with the lights on. Its just dimmer, they still reflect the same red.
Stock with lights on at night

Tinted 5% with lights on at night

Tinted 5% lights off at night

the side markers and the front turn signals are the little things that people miss when they tint there tail lights and headlights. but these make a big difference. and make your car look so much better depending on color.

Yes use regular tint. I used adhesive backed tint to make it stick better, and made the cutouts wide enough to go around the edges. I removed everything to tint it, just makes it easier to work on inside the house. The side markers are very easy, just pop them out with a flathead and just work the tint around the edges. The lettering stays, and does show thru the tint, just squeegee around the letters to make the tint tight their. I did end up with a few small airbubbles in the tint, but it should come out once the tint cures.
