   Hey, I've tinted my rear lights only the Red part.
   
   It's easy enough just take your time allow coats to dry.
   
   I used Etech Tint Spray I bought it off eBay cost around £6 IIRC
   
   oh yeah make sure that the lights are all cleaned up with no dirty on them etc.

   Not a clue I'd of thought that aslong as you let enough light through you'll be fine Just depends how dark you want to go really.

   Do you just literally spray the tint all over the light?

   Spray it from left to right and up and down in even coats and leave to dry for 5-7mins than apply another coat. There is instructions on the tin I bought
   
   It isn't as hard as it sounds though.

   don't do from side to side and then up and down, do one or the other, should never change direction when painting
