How about tinting the two and leaving the back up lights alone? That would look pretty good? Just little white on the insides while the rest is tinted?

Question: How are you taking them apart? I have condensation too, and want to take care of it, but I hear the rears are 100x harder to take apart than the headlights. The plastic is much softer/thinner, so it usually melts if you try the oven method.

if you heat it up slowly to soften everything first then go at it with a heat gun you should be set, also add ALOT of patience.
