[QUOTE="LF LandShark 2818, post: 1733128, member: 12380"] Tinted Third Brake Light: In my quest to remove any obscure chrome from the Raptor I've wanted to tackle the third brake light for a while. As i mentioned earlier my plan was always to go with the GJ option. I just could never make it happen and then looked into a suitable alternative. In the end i opted to install Vivid Air Release tint. I did not remove the third brake light at all. I used CMR surface prep to wipe down the surface first and then applied a sheet of tint over the light. It is a very malleable medium and i was able to form it to the third brake light very easily. I took my time and used a heat gun to make sure it looked good. It was a very easy install and took me about 15 minutes. The light output was not significantly diminished and because of the backlight options I've added I'm not concerned with any loss of light other than the 3 DOT red marker lights , which still shine through just fine, even in the daylight.
