Default Side marker lens.

Does anyone know where to get tint to cover the side marker lenses? I heard regular window tint won't stick to polycarbonate plastics. Any ideas?

Use the spray on tint that it used on front & rear tail-lights.

There is a place on e-bay that I got my tail light tint from and the side marker tint is avaliable too. I had to contact the seller to get the side marker tint, but I had a hard time applying it so I went with clear side marker lights on the rear with red inverted cone LED bulb's.

They are really for the front. They fit right into the hole, but a little tighter than the front. I had to cut out a small square toward the back end of the hole to get the metal clip to snap in. They look pretty cool at night with the red inverted cone LED, the red spreads through the lines in the clear marker light. There are some pic's I posted in the exterior & lighting, but they don't do the look justice.
