I followed this FAQ
How to tint your tails with VHT Niteshades

I used VHT Niteshades and Duplicolor Clear Coat

I did 2 coats of clearcoat wetsanded 2 more coats and wetsanded again then the final clearcoat. They look really good in person, I think the angles are just from the lighting in my crappy garage.

The light removal is not that hard. I removed the side mirrors from the car by removing the 3 10mm nuts under the plastic piece on the interior of the door. Then you take the small piece underneath the light and slowly push and pry up with your fingers until the painted piece pops off. It took quite a bit of force, but I got mine off with just hand pressure. After that its just 2 screws and a wiring harness.
