Does anyone have smoked tail light film?

Thinking about getting these: https://bimmian.com/smoked-tail-light-film-for-f32/

But unsure if I should get Medium or light smoke. The dark smoke will be too much. Does anyone have this on theirs? Please share pics if you do. I'd love to see.

I used VViViD tint and was really happy with the way they turned out. Quick, easy and it was only $20 bucks on amazon.

That looks sharp. Do you think the 17.75 Inches x 60 Inches Roll will be enough? https://www.amazon.com/VViViD-Air-Ti...omotive&sr=1-1

You should be good with that much. I bought a 16x48 pack and still have a bunch left over. Been thinking about doing my headlights and I should have enough left over for them.

What a great idea! Tinting the lenses to reduce light output! You don't want those brake lights to be too visible to the little old lady behind you on a rainy night. Might surprise her into stopping short if she sees them too soon. Especially smart on a black car! And, by all means, do the headlights too! Helps reduce the reflection off a pedestrian wearing dark clothes! Just brilliant thinking, everyone!

I had mine done with STEK Dynosmoke and I love the look. Pricey after professional install. It's hydrophobic and self healing. I don't believe they sell to the public, though.
