hey all, i recently tinted my tail lights for my Kia Forte Sedan i wanted to see what you all thought

i plan on doing another wet sanding and then polishing the hell out of them.

for all the DIYers that would like to try it out, i followed "johnsn10" on youtube, has a very good instructional video (set of 2 videos) super easy to follow, very well done, and very thorough as well! check it out good stuff. (Spoiler Alert!: in the second video when he's talking about the Ultimate Compound and rubbing it on, it caught me off guard and had me laughing lol)

anyway, here's the pics let me know what you think!

as you can see, in the daylight looks almost completely blacked out:

and at night time with just the parking lights on, you can still see them clearly:

No, those aren't cop lights lol. I have blue interior lights (another angle of the tail lights):

I hear having your taillights tinted adds 2hp,4ft/lbs torque... nice job!

damn what if you do a bunch of coats?
will the HP multiply by each coat applied?
am interested in this

Thats a great look. I wish mine could be that dark, just not legal in Florida, so mine are a little biit lighter than that.
