mine just cut the film around the 3rd brake light. but i know somebody did take off the light. it's just up to u.

 

Mine is the whole window (up to the dot-matrix). My installer removed the light, tinted the window, then put the light back on. That should all be part of the price of the tinting.....

 

Taking the light off to tint is a must. It looks so much nicer than when they cut around it.

 

but does anybody knows how to take it off though, i look thru the owner manual and couldn't find anything out of it.

 

I think that's kind of the point of the replies you got. The guy doing the tinting should remove it for you.

If you're doing the tinting yourself, then you may want to look into a repair manual as that should have directions, screw locations, etc.

I'd have to say that at least 99% of the people on here had someone do the tint for them, so I'm not sure how many people will know how to remove the 3rd brake light. If someone does... hopefully they'll pop in here and reply.....

 

Had mine done while I waited, and he slid the tint down in front of the rear light without taking it out. Looks smooth as silk.

The screws for the 3rd brake light should be in your trunk. Just unscrew and the light will come off.

 

Where in Oregon are you located? IF you are in the Portland area check out:

They did my car and they remove the brake light and also do illegal for a slightly higher fee. I have 20% on a Nighthawk Black '03 TLS. The job turned out pretty good.

Or, go across the river to Pro Imagine in Vancouver. VERY nice work.
