Where is my super sauce?
Dumb question (I've been thinking about this subtle mod for a while) -- does the tint go over the whole tail light assembly, or just the clear part on top?

Nice DIY -- I must have been out of town and missed when you posted. You always do a nice job with the DIY documentation. Thanks.

I put them on my TL and the tint looked really green ... I bought the 20% tint from c-c-c.net
It kindof looked ghetto since it was greenish and not really darker. Dunno if its just the TL lights that make it look weird or not. I ended up redding out the top white blinker piece (left the reverse area white for legal reasons). So it looks more like the '01-02 CL lights instead

Just a question, would it be better to spray paint the inside of the housing black to give you the same look but more 3-D?
The only reason I ask is that I did this to my 97 Maxima and it looks cool. I am planning on doing this to my 01 CLS but I need to get my hands on a set of 03 tails. I will take some pictures of my Maxima Tails on Friday to give you guys some ideas on what it might look like.

Looks pretty good. I'd be interested in seeing what the CL or TL tail lights look like with it spraypainted like that ... Only bad thing is if they look like ass then you're stuck with them unless you buy new lights.
