i been told its better to use a hairdryer then heat gun since heat gun can melt the light so be carefull and ensure you have extra set of hands helping you...

why not find some spray on red tint? you kno how you can get the night shade stuff which blacks out the lights, im pretty sure they have something similar in different colors.

thats what i was thinking too judgez. cuz then u can just take it inside ur house and paint it. and there saying this winter is going to be really cold so maybe the tint could come off too. plus its a lot easier since u dont have to worry about leaving bubbles

only downside of the paint would be if you do't like the look you can't undo it...

well thats not entirely true i think. cuz when ur sanding the thing down, most of the paint is going to come off. plus, u can always paint it black cuz its darker. if u have that problem then get paint that doesnt come off on its own, but then if u put rubbing alcohol or something on it then it comes off like butter

why not get the red spray tint and then some automotive clear coat. it stands up to extreme temps, should be fine on lights like that.
