Tail light blackout/tinting.
 
So since i have the 40th i would like my tail lights to blend in a bit more. i was wondering what is the best method to tinting/blackout of the tail lights. IT HAS TO BE REVERSIBLE NO PAINT! I want the reverse lights to be white and visible (stock look).

Two options: vinyl tint or plasti dip. Youtube should have some examples for you to follow. Good luck!

which option would give best look and darkness? i also want a gloss finish.

Vinyl tinting offers different shades of darkness you can choose from and probably is the better choice since you want it glossy. Plasti dip is rather a flat or matte finish, there are glossifier that you can use to give a gloss look but I've heard that using glossifier may make it harder to remove later.

I don't have first hand experience with B@t's vinyl so I can't speak on that But a lot of guys on the forum get theirs from him and I haven't seen any complaints about quality, a couple bad reviews had to do with installing issue but the vendor followed through and made sure they were satisfied.

after looking through all those pictures i was wondering if its possible to do these? i want the back lights to almost blend in with the paint of the car. i own the 40th edition. as for the reverse lights. if i could get that light of a tint in there too i think it would look bad @ss.
