Has anyone tinted the wing mirror indicator lenses? I'm taking the mirrors off to replace them in the next week or so and figured it would be a good opportunity to tint the indicators. I'm not up for buying tinted units and would rather have a go myself.
What tint did you use?

I installed the smoked mirror indicators as well as the bumper indicators and it wasn't dark enough for my liking...so I covered those with smoked Lamin-x: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/ES1896406/(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1205.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb434%2Frohecht%2Fgti4-13019.jpg&hash=ed324c56ce3d60cfe7048412961a1c9767ec27e6) (http://s1205.photobucket.com/user/rohecht/media/gti4-13019.jpg.html)
Easy to install...cut the sections over-sized...apply to clean area with heat if needed to form over curved features...finally trim, but only need to cut partially through, or score, the material and remove the edges.
