Its simples mate (Y) just been a rattle can of that tinting spray and somewhere warm/dry to keep them in between coats.
Start off cleaning them, i used white spirit as it took off all layers of wax that were on there, then obviously dry them off.
Place them on something so you can spray the entire light without having to move it. Just lying them down works.
Then just spray away doing several thin coats and leave to fully dry between coats as they come up alot better.
You just gotta decide if you want them legal or not. If no spray over the reflector, if yes, mask up the reflector before spraying. Job done! Hope that helped ill put a pic up of some lights i did using this method in a minute.
