My tint tail light
So I mess up my tint taillight, my 1st attemp, they came out with lots of bubbles. But nothing a razor cant fix. It wasnt my idea, I remember seeing it somewhere and I kinda like it so i try it on my car.

i say just red-outs...its looks a little funky im my opinion...if you really wanna tint it, do the whole thing. tinting half of it looks a bit off..

i think it'd look complete by doing the other half or just using redouts. half and half doesnt look right IMO. but good practice nonetheless!

Red out was what I had in mind too. Maybe black out the reflector, emblem, logo and red out the tail light...Is it legal to black out the reflector?

Im curious to see how it would look if you tinted the rear defelctors and blacked out the emblems. Not that bad overall though. Get a pic from the back center no angle. I know that little bump on trthe light had to give you trouble.
