Default Tinted my headlight diffusers

Just finished tinting my headlight diffusers on my AP1. I wanted to get Ricks2k smoked diffusers but they didn't have a timeframe on when the parts would be released so I just went ahead and got some of the Rust-O-leum spray on tint. It actually turned out really good.

If anyone else is trying to tint their diffusers, or any other lens, let me know. I really don't need the spray paint, and I probably only used 5% of the can...

Thanks!

How does it look with the turn signals on? Wanting to do the same but not too keen on dealing with opening and resealing the lights =/

I can put up pictures tonight but it is still fairly bright orange. I can see it during the day, so definitely will be bright at night.

Yeah "cooking" the headlights is a daunting task, but honestly not that bad... just remember to clean the inside of the lens when it's kept open and keep it in a dust free area, I found a few specs of dust on the inside ...
