M8 with the light get the spray can warn in a boil of hot water and shake well also make sure the lights are warm and can stay warm when you put the tint on That way they should come out nice

Also only put light coats on i made that mistake first time i did aset Did some blue ones once and you could only just see the lights But that was 7/8 yrs ago

Saying that tho my Indercators came out matt i did'nt keep them warm tho when i did them (did'nt have a fan heater to hand )

Heres a pic (there ok for now tho )
