thanks and
no i bought the lights from a vendor on the caddy forums and swapped them so I might do the 3rd brake light myself with nightshades since it will be harder to screw up than the tails

btw if anyone wants a extra set to tint I will sell the stock ones for 100 bucks +shipping

I was gonna just buy an extra set and have them painted but I couldnt find any for less than 130 a piece. SO when i saw these already done I jumped on it

I might have to look into getting mine done. I just wanted to make sure you can still tell that you're braking.

So are they covered with a film or is it sprayed on? Also, what % is the tint?

Default Vendor Name???

I really like the tails. Nice purchase.

Could you please send me the vendor who did this for you. If they are local I could drop them off.

Please send me the guy's name here in a reply, PM me, or send me an email to davidmcase@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance.
