I only did a light coat with the night shades then went over the raised bits with a nikko. Looks good and have never had a problem with the plod.

Seeing tinting the tail lights isnt highly regarded by the cops, what i did was go down to autobarn and buy 2 rolls of black 3mm pinstripe ($6 total) and laid strips of it along the high ridges on the tail lights. It came up looking pretty good, and there is no reduction in light visibility. Since then however i found a near perfect set of berlina tail lights at pick apart for $30 each and couldn't resist . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
