   ultra smoked jewels ftw.
   
   How were you going to tint them?
   
   The usual way is to paint them black [thin layer] (or colour of choice) and then use loads of lacquer so they are "fairly" legal. Bit worried your mentioning ovens!

   I was thinking about doing this, and colour coding the chrome part.
   But if you cant split them theres not much point in trying! Lol

   i went to scrappy and got some rear lights for a tenner, got some black spray and just sprayed them with light coats untill they were pretty dark black. The light shows (ish) at night too!

    you can buy proper spray from halfrauds for £15, few coats on the outside the laquer, no ovens required.
