Tail Light Tinting In Mid Smoke

Hi!

I thought I’d put a video together in tinting the tail lights using APA mid smoke. The video also shows the light output on the tinted and untinted

Hey! I checked during night time when my friend stopped by to have a look, no issues at all. It’s still as bright and can see clearly from a far distance

I put a light tint on my 135i tail lights a long while ago, and went to LED bulbs at the same time. I actually think the brighter LED's largely offset the tinting. Something to consider if anyone's nervous about their brake lights being seen.
