Unfortunately when I got them done, there was a misunderstanding since I told my painter to semi-smoke them the same way my taillights came out (basically so you can barely tell they were smoked). Anyways, he literally sprayed them EXACTLY the same (same amount of coats), and they came out way darker than I wanted. Apparently when you spray on a white lense it gets darker quicker than when you spray on a red lense. hah
Oh well, one day I'll trade someone for stock + $$ and get them redone.

I always worried the same problem as you...
But now it seems not as bad as I think..
So what is the best tint/film to use??
Any shop can do it for me?? I want to tint the headlight, tailight and turn signal..

Well here is a lil advise....Stay AWAY from the city of Glendora!!! I got pulled over there 4x for my blacked out taillights. I only got a fix it ticket for it once but the cop wrote the wrond code so the judge dismissed it. What I have been told is that as long as the light still reflects with the lights are off you should be okay. The cop tried saying that he almost crashed into me, I agree with the post b4. When u see a cop..turn your lights on.. and look for something that will still let the taillight reflect a lil... Good Luck!
