Question questions about smoking tail lights

1. For those that do it yourself, what film did you use and about how much was it?

2. Did you smoke the rear turn signals/back up indicators?

I'm trying to take it just dark enough to give the lights a crimson color, but i still want the LEDs to shine pretty bright.

I had bought the 6/10 shade from Blue Bat for my Led Tail Lights and it worked out fine the Led's show up no problem.This photo is from my phone but it shows what I am talking about.

I haven't installed them yet. The instructions call for at least 70 degrees for the install. I can get that now in a garage but I need to know how long they need to "bake".

I bought the 50% tint for the rears.
Install was a breeze, just don't use the squeegee they provide. It is plastic and not flexible at all. Buy yourself a nice rubber flexible one and get to work.
It is tedious to get all the bubbles out, and most likely, you wont get all of them.
But luckily they will dry as time goes by.

anyone got night shots of 03-05 break lights with tint?
I think they look sick, but I'm afraid it will make the already dark brake lights nearly impossible to see.
Would hate to get rear ended just because the break lights look cooler tinted

those that smoked the rear turn signals, did you take the bumper off or were you able to do it with it on?
