How-To. Mazda5 Smoked Taillights and Side Markers

Can't wait to see them mate. Did you use any object or instrument to pop them out?

No, you could use a flat head screw driver but that might break something. All you need to do is push in the tab a little and push forward. It will seem really hard at first but just keep trying. My hand was hurting when I was done but it was worth it. I will post pics this weekend.
 
Ok here are 2 pics of the smoked reflectors I did. I did not black them out just a slight tint. It is about 3 coats of Nightshades.

Used VHT niteshade. Remove your tail lights. Apply as much coats as you need to get the right shade. Put them back... Easy and quick

I know left one look darker on the pic but it is not in real...

reviving another old thread. :) Just tinted my tail lights with some %35 $10 gala cling-on window tint and electrical tape around to hold it in place. Like the result, now they match my smoked side markers... Will have to post some pics when my wife comes back from her shopping trip.
 
Tinted Tails??? I need to see.

I have been complaining about our tails for a long time now! We smoked the headlights (blacked out the chrome), smoked side markers, tinted windows, but those tails just stick out like a sore thumb!!

Picts please.
