Default How to tint reverse lights?

Question- I want to tint my tail lights but how do I go about this when the reverse lights are set back? I saw a couple threads where people have it done.

https://mustangforums.com/forum/2010...ight-tint.html

If you look there the entire tail light is done but when looking for the tints they have holes for the reverse lights. I know I can stretch the tint a little with the heat gun but that much?

Those were Niteshaded.

Take your lights off and spray a couple coats on. If you don't like it, Goof-off removes VHT.

Nightshade comes off in patches later on and looks like crap and taking to a shop is pretty costly:/

Never had that happen before. You could always get a roll of tint and cut it yourself so you'd have enough to fill everything in.
