tail lights are universal, they all go in the same way. and i dont think any were tinted stock from the factory. VHT night shade will only go so far and will only look good for so long. Have it done right the first time and you will be happy.

Yeah my buddy tints and was gna do them, he's the best in town but no seriously I think certain ones had darker lenses stock.. I literally just seen one and it's not the first..

The lights are the same shape so I was quite sure but I figured they'd just swap out.. Thanks

I thought so as well. If you want to do a killer job using vht nightshades , use light coats , wet sand , clearcoat , wetsand.

In that order.

Dang so I guess I'm just seeing ppl who tinted theirs.. And I'm using actually tint.. Probably just 30% around the two oval like shapes where our lights shine.. I'm thinking it'll look niiiice

black paint + clear coat will look much much better and last longer
