i put them in the oven just like it said and they came apart very easy, i used clear rtv silicone to reseal it. i painted more than the diy guy did i only taped off the small circle behind the turn. sprayed it with duplicolor lacquer 2 coats black gloss. I also sanded the outside of the lenses because i had a lil sun fade, i used the niteshades on the top edge of the lens just as a shadow/eyelid, then put 3 coats of clear on them, just a hint dont spray the lenes til after you reassemble i ended up having to re coat the clear. they are drying now. this was much easier than i thought it would be taping off was th biggest pain

I guess I'm not exactly sure what you used to tint your tail lights + third brake light? I've been thinking about either buying the GTS covers or the Nightshade spray, but I see you used vinyl tint?

Where did you buy the tint, and how does it work??

i bought it from metro decals on ebay and its a vinyl thats smoked and it was $25 for a 30x24 sheet and i just cut to size and apply with water and very lil soap in it and heat and squeegee theres vids on you tube on how to do it it looks grate and its not permanant like night shades so ebay search taillight tint and find metro decals or metro sellers....
