I dont think u can do it to ur middle light as they are LED`s...to pull them off the car, just remove the interior trims around the top bit of ur window and u will see clips that retain the middle light in...pry them out and disconnect power and water spray hose.

have a play around and see if u can open the light to tint...but i doubt u can tint the interior...

yeh its a 3dr astra H so 3rd brake light is on the outside so heaps easier...

u dont spray the inside only outside and its heaps hard to remove this stuff... i put an order in this morning through www.carbling.com.au (http://www.carbling.com.au)

dont think it comes out easily so will just cover the car up with some towels & have bottle of metho on stand by just in case...
