Take the tint film and follow my brief guide. Trim off the edges and you have it. Cost you close to nothing vs 250+.

wow i'm about to attempt this project, I like how you covered up most of it. Did you leave a small square? When reverseing, that white section showing through the red tint it becomes red?

Thanks

The small square was left open because I wanted the white light for reverse. BTW I did the whole light first then cut the square. Hope it helps

When your in reverse, the whole section where the white light shines, does it look red coming out of it?

finishing the mod with a lighter and flame is classic. Maybe a hot hair dryer is safer. Nice job!

Nice! Amazing, creative work on these forums. Check out MteK's lights, another alternative to blacklines:
