Just got my taillights tinted yesterday. Thanks to Mike at MV Wraps in South El Monte, California.

Looks great, but you really need to adjust the fit of the LHS of the spoiler, it is sitting way high. There are a couple of posts around here somewhere on how to do it for a coupe, and I'm guessing it would be the same for a 'vert.

 

I wasn’t aware of this issue. Will keep it in mind. Thanks.

 

I would be using the rear fogs anytime the weather was even slightly rainy or foggy.

Love the uniqueness of such mods, but I've almost been rear ended twice in the F-Type and I want all the rear lighting I can have with all the texting twits out there.

 

I understand the fog lights are red LEDs in the two lower "white" slots (under the main lights), so the tinting can't make any difference to the fog lights.

Or I have misunderstood your post and you know this, and you are saying that the tint dulls the rear lights so much that the fogs should be on at all times!

 

I like the look of the slightly darker MY 2018+ taillights and decided to try this simple DIY approach to retrofitting my 2016:

It was my first attempt at wrapping any part of a car and I was concerned about the result, but it came out fine. Fitting the film into the round part of the lens took some heat from a hair dryer to soften the film and quite a bit of patience. I bought a simpler tool kit than the video suggests and it worked fine, you'll mainly need a felt squeegee and a plastic edge/corner tool.

I used 1 yard of the Luxe "Light Smoke" as noted in the video. There's no noticeable difference when lit and it's subtle enough when not, which is what I wanted. I was on an S.F. Jaguar Club run yesterday and found it to be a very good match to the later model year OEM taillights.

It may not work for every color but I like it with Ammonite Grey.
