I have done tailights with VHT spray on tint and its been great. Like a $12 can that will do a lot of lights. I think a lot of people are doing that now.

if u want tinted tailights, have them tinted professionally. Ive done this a few times and they look much nicer than the tint or the spray can stuff.

Didn't have pre-cut, but cut off of a roll of translucent vinyl, and I will warn you......it is one, task, to wrap these tailights. If you have flareside style anyway.
Here's mine now!

Just spray them with VHT brother.. its so simple and one coat is about the shade of DRicks.. then you can just shine them up nice with a polish. They aren't going to look any different with the film

My brother had bought this film for his 2010 Fusion and had a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I just used VHT Niteshades on my pickup and it turned out pretty good.

the pre cut seems like it would be hard to work with
