dont do it mate ive just converted mine back to standard items, looks bit dull round the back in my opinion, other than that you can but a tint laquer from halfrauds about ?15, simple enough to do.

Sorry to hi-jack but I want to tint my rear indicators so there a bit darker. like a brown colour

How would I go about that ?

cant understand why ud want brown but surely ud just tape it off and get a brown laquer?

i have a set of rally type factory black(not spry canned) rear lights they are illegal as standard and therefore would need reflectors on the rear,
i bought these new, and had them on the car for around a month so still like new.

Not a nova but i did these on my old polo using that tinting spray, thats about 3 coats IIRC
Its not legal though, as they dont reflect anymore, but i never got any hassle of police, had them on for over a year :cool:

These have been on two different cars and come through 3 mot's at different places. No one has ever quibbled that they might be too dark. I definately wouldn't go any darker though.
