I tinted my tails today on my 09 EX. I used Headlight Armour. There are many cheaper but they don’t fit right. I threw a set of RL Vinyls away as they were hard to fit and came creased. HA comes in a nice roll and is thicker than the rest . HA is twice as expensive but goes on so easily, it’s worth my time to purchase HA. This is my 2nd set, I have a set on my 09 Accord as well. Light smoke does not tint much, which is what I wanted. No legal hassles and all it does is take out the bright red from the tail. A hint: do this on the sunniest, hottest day you can find. The water evaporates before your eyes and you get a real clear fit. Here’s the before and afters:

Looks nice

Regarding the pinstripe,i believe low heat from a heat gun should do the trick

meguiar's scratch-x. youre lucky your stripe wasnt painted on. i had about a million scratches cause the body shop had to sand it off with sandpaper. luckily after about 50 applications of scratch-x and some good wax, i can barely notice lol

You know it looks great but my thinking is that I want the guy who's driving behind me to see my rear light as bright as possible, I'd be interested in knowing if or maybe not/how much duller the rear lights are now in the dark.

not a problem with light smoke, that's why I chose it...when I put it on my accord a few months ago I did one side and compared at night and day - virtually no diff when the brakes were applied....not the case with the darker shades
