Try searching the site using google instead, you will get much better results. For example type site:rx8club.com then type in your question.

To try and answer your question, if you have never done this before, I would have a professional do it. Our tail lights are a very difficult shape to apply a tint to. You would need to heat the film to make it fit the shape of the light. Find a good tint shop and they should be able to do it for you no problem.

will be very difficult. my first set went in the trash. my 2nd set was bulk film so I could work on it without trying to pull it to cover everything.

get a professional to do it.
