go to your local Home Depot or hardware store and get Glass Tint and get the color you want. Its a simple to do. Just take off the pieces u want to color and spray some on. Do even coats untill u get the color u want.

yup the glass tint is very glossy if applied with clearcoat and wetsanded. also for better results spray the inside of the lense not the part exposed to the elements.

Look how glossy this is, you can see me in the repflection, and I rushed it, It has no clear coat, no sanding done, and was done on the outside. It's fading now, so Imma put on a new coat and then clear coat it.

The tails look good... but why did you tint them red in the first place... I dont know, i kinda like amber myself when it comes to turn signals... the red reminds me of the oldsmobiles chevys and buicks... yuk... anyway, yeah doing the inside instead of the outside works a lot better

Nah somehting about it doesnt look right... now if you could go completely clear (like altezzas) and then tint it that would look great... cuz the plastic on the 240s is kinda opaque ya know? i like that newer clearer plastic
