   yer but they look better because they are darker
   did you do urs then and is it hard to do without it running etc..
   you can just do more coats than you have done to get them to look like the 1's on ebay do aswell.

   im not that sure mate
   my sisters boyfriend has a good set of this style lights on his astra and they just apear gloss black with part of the reflector showing so they are legal and they look really professional
   im not to sure about them 1's you posted look abit cheap if not done to highest standard i think
   im really picky on this subject aswell lol many others will probably think the 2nd one's are just as good but i dont believe so.

    those lights do look sick but make sure you when come to buy them they do have the reflector showing, because if not police will defiantly pull you. £30 fine and ull have to produce aswell, fukin hate police lol

    ask the seller for pics of them with the brake on so you can see how dark they are. mines are probs just as dark as them and I get pulled all the time but I still havent been fined

    Yes i did mine myself, it wasn't that hard to do just a can of tinting spray and spray from side to side building the layers up. Allow time to dry before spraying again of course.
    
    I didn't want mine that dark because mine are still within the limit of being legal-ish, unlike those on the ebay link, doubt you can even see the brake lights with them!

    i want mine to appear completly gloss black.
    but have a little bit f reflector showing at the bottom.
    i think the one's off ebay the first link is the best option for me looks better than i could do and you can ask them to leave abuit of the reflector showing so they are legal.
    then i always have my current standard untinted lights to fall back on if neccesary.
    60 quid mark though for the lights!

    I agree they have been done professionally, but no way legal. They have just painted them gloss black, no reflectors etc.

    If you want a really cheap option of tinting your rear lights and what i believe to be a legal way. Get some black tights and stretch them round your rear lights. I know everyones sat there thinking wtf but it does work plus when iI got pulled by the men in blue they moaned about them which was when I came out with but the tights have got lots of little holes so the light still passes through to be fair they did their usual bollox like yeah well thats not standard etc etc but they left me to it and just gave me one of them things to change my nymberplate as the writing was illegal. So cheap way Tights!

    tint your standards mate much easier takes abit of practice but aslong as it's done sumwhere warm and you dont spray streaky they look gurd! Done mine the other day. If it gose rong just wash the tint off and try again.

    you can ask them to leave a part of the reflector visible so it will be legal if you request that.
