Where did you get the covers? Do they stay on well and fit well? I want to get some but I havnt yet because I dont want to give the police a good reason to pull me over.
Worry more about being safe than getting pulled over, as long as as the lights can be seen well enough to be safe, chances are you won't get pulled over. Many, many guys here have tinted their tails to different shades, and I can't think of one that has posted up that they got pulled over for it.
I want to get the covers instead of using film tint. How do they attach and do they hold well? Easy to remove to clean them?

I've had the covers on 3 vehicles now, and have not had any problem. You can see them easy during the day. They are easy to clean, and fit well.

I like the tint...I ordered mine from ebay too,I ordered for all my lights. I'm afraid to tackle the project myself because I don't want to mess it up. Any advice???

I haven't used the vinyl tints, but it can't be that hard. Be sure to use a soapy water solution, have a dry rag handy and I think those kits come with a small squeegee. Have faith in yourself

BleedinBlu-I like the way you think! I'm going to try it this weekend; should I use sopy water or by the solution they sell at autozone?
