   Don't you have to buy them smoked from rimstyle or something...
   
   I know you can do the fronts on your own, not sure about the rears, sorry.

   Not sure how to do it, wouldnt it be better to just buy some because if you do it yourself it wont be aproved and if the police decide they cant see your indicators or brake lights it could be more costly!

   u can do it yourself mate, the advantage with ths, if u take ur time and do even coats, is that u can have them whatever shade u like. U will need some proper tint spray tho, can get from ebay for about 8 quid i think it is :y
