Do those inserts from stickercity.com go on the outside or the inside of the taillight. I seems like it goes on the outside which seems a little awkward. I always thought smokin the taillights involved a spray

it doesnt require a spray. Mines are tinted with rockblocers which is really similar to stickercity product. its a 15min install. A couple of my friends have had their tail lamps spray tinted but it looks wack it looks dull and kills the shine of the plastic. With the tint u still have that nice plastic glossy look.

Good luck

Self tinted with Nite Shades spray $15

Looks pretty nice. I wouldn't have expected it to look that good with the precut film. I guess i never considered it possible since windows are tinted on the inside but it does look quite nice. Wonder if they'd give me a hard time in NY

Yea, do it yourself with the kit from eBay. You can also get them from Rockblocker, and a few other film companies.
