I think it's advisable to avoid the film tint that sticks to the outside of the brake light. I tried it on my car some time ago and it looks like garbage: a bit wrinkled and full of air pockets. I used the so called precision cut top quality film and it still looks bad. It was not even the exact right size. I followed the direction to the letter making sure to carefully work all the air out as I was applying it; but as I mentioned, it still looks so bad.

 

ANY tint will look bad if it's not installed right. you need to back and work all those bubbles out

 

Exactly. I've had lamin-x tail light tint on my car for years, and it looks perfectly fine. No problems.

I had some film tint on mine for a while, but I really could never get them to look how I wanted. I ended up with some Niteshades and Duplicolor clear and much better looking tails...I definitely recommend that method over film any day.

 

i agree, niteshades and some clear makes tails look awesome !

 

Anything will look bad if not installed properly. Not just tint.

 

i bought a roll of the film, and installed it in two pieces and it looks great on mine.

 

i bought VHT Niteshades off ebay and hit my whole back end of my cobra up with it...and i LOVE IT, works PEHNOMINALLL!!

 

The product I used was from Rvinyl.com and was bought on Ebay. What a mistake that was!!! The product was as terrible as the seller; not even cut to the correct size and it seems awfully light even though I ordered the darkest they offered.
I ended up buying some professionally painted lights instead. I think it's the only way to go if you want good quality that will last.
