   Use tinting spray and spray on the outside
   
   Lacquer is optional

   Buy some mate, because alot of time people mess it up, and there are legal requirements as well as the reflector.

   Also forgot to say, like Mattt-VTR is gettin at, dont tint them to dark as you will get un wanted attetion from the law!
   
   Plus come MOT time you will more than likely fail even if you give them a light tint, altho abit of paint brush cleaner etc will take the tint spray off and then just do them again or pic up some standard bk light from a scrap yard and keep them for MOT time
