Auto Links (sponsor here) can tint your lights. They're located in Scarborough.

The best place to get them tinted is in your driveway. Save your money.
Just buy VHT Night Shades/Dupli-Color Acrylic Clear at CT and DIY !!!

Take it apart, break and scratch sh*t...... learn! It becomes wisdom.

VHT will give you dull looking tails like the ones on the driver side. AND is not removable.
I use 20mil film that is thicker than window tint.
And I ve done lot's of headlights, unless you got yellow on the front, you won't get bothered.

I recommend using the film that Matt sells. I wouldnt do headlights. I have my headlights done and the light output drastically reduced even with the lightest of the tint

Tails are WAY to expensive to do a permanent mod like painting them. The film would be totally removable, if you do the film on the headlights and get pulled over, get out of your car and just go rip it off right there. Easy as that.

You guys that recommend doing it yourself... The 2010 tails are A LOT more difficult to do than pre-10 tails. Unless you have experience doing this type of thing, you will likely mess it up on a 2010 taillight.

I want to have my headlights protected with something totally clear. Where can I have this done? I'm out of the province now until September but I'd like to get something arranged soonish. I used to be in Kingston every weekend but now the GF is FINALLY done her 5 years there at Queens/working etc. Maybe during my next trackday at Shannonville I can meet you somewhere to have my headlights done.

Ya... GL with that... you MIGHT have a chance if its not an 2010 but if it is I highly doubt you can DIY with a decent result

Yeah, that's probably true. All the newer generations have way too many curves :S
However, with some time and a friend, its not impossible. (heat gun is your friend)
