Go to the website he has ( the blue batmobile one) and I have seen pics on there. For tailights, I just mixed some black sand pearl with a clear coat and sprayed over them a few times. Can't see the signals during the day too well, but at night you can see them just fine. Please forgive the dirty car picture, it rains almost every day here.

| The only problem with painting the inside of the headlights is that you lose that factory seal and get hazing like you see in that picture a couple posts above this. |

| I know you re seal them after baking, but you lose that initial factory seal and setting up for possible hazing issues. That picture looks hazy, and in person your lights looked hazy to me. |

This is the best picture i could find that as already on photbucket. I know the trunk is open and you cant get the whole ides of the tint, but at least you can gte an idea of what it looks like with sticker tint. This isn't sprayed on its essentially a see-through sticker that can be removed if i ever get tired of it.
