Haven't seen one on here but im guessing its simple enough, just tape off what you dont want tinted, spray, sand, spray etc.

Haha yeah I did it to my ls1 tail lights turned out great but idk if the tint caused them to dent in or if it's just something these tail lights do but my buddy with an lt1 he was flipping let me switch the tail lights and I wanted to see if I could get an idea of what I wanted to do either just tint the reverse or leave the reverse untinted I'll post some pics of my car after work for an idea

I just did mine this weekend. I left the reverse lights clear.







This is before polishing and clear. They should lighten up a little when I polish them.

My tails are dented too (see above pics). I think it came from the old AVS blackouts I used in the past.

the light dent from the heat of the bulb. If you look at the dent there is a bulb right behind it. Happens on all of em eventually.

Buy some 'gunsmoke' Lamin-X and have at it. Google them.

I wouldn't recommend VHT Nite Shades on the tail lights.

Thanks guys for the help. Texan yeah that's pretty much what I was looking for. I found the actual one though pretty simple title too lol it's the black camaro a quater down the page.


This is my car as it stands and I'm kind of liking lt1 tails with no tint they flow so smooth with the car.

Here is how it was with tinted ls1 tails before they were dented.
