Tinted Side Markers

I had my amber side markers tinted 5%. Overall I'm far happier with them dark than garishly orange.

I may later opt for the color match replacements but for now the level of effort and cost of this nets a big gain to my eye.

I opted for the color match replacements but was debating tint. I think it looks great.

Looks great, is it tint film or paint?

Looks great. I need to get mine done or paint them. I'm not paying $195 for painted versions when you can paint them yourself for $30.

That actually looks pretty good. Does it still reflect to some degree (which is totally aok. At least you get to keep a degree of reflectivity if it is.)

If this was directed to me the answer is yes.

I went grey. Still reflective, but disappear with distance.

eBay. They actually light up, if you can be bothered with that nonsense. I just cut all the wires off.
