White or silver are the only colors that would look good against. DIY?

Yeah, I’m going to be painting the edges for final product bc I had to use 8 different cut outs of vinyl to get tht look. Too time consuming and paint will last longer

Went with rustoleum lens tint. Tape off, scuff with green scotch bright pad, 3 coats with 10-15 minutes between drying. Here is each coat and then finished product. Still drying so not back on truck yet AAE0AEE5-C2F1-4302-91F3-C8C82CC4E3C8.jpeg9C950C7F-87FC-457A-BC84-FADC33407EFC.jpeg74118409-77A5-4256-90E5-041B7BCDC293.jpegF05E0029-57F6-4E6F-A216-786E7862E166.jpeg5BF2B56D-44E7-4C98-ABA6-CB59DB1012AD.jpeg

Definitely makes the lights look a little more high-end. May have to do this to the wife's Magnetic EL.

@J Ski That looks pretty good. I went with the chrome trim but that would have definitely been a way to go if I had thought about it. :)
It’s not perfect, I may tape them off, scuff them again, and get one or two more coats on it. My 4 year old decided to touch the edge of one so the finish isnt smooth and there’s a small run on the edge of another that I’m guessing was from the paint pooling up while drying. Good enough for a daily driver though!
