I'm on mobile, so I can't do a poll...

Car is a white subaru forester

1. Should I smoke the tail lights only or do the head lights too?

2. Shiny or matte finish? (Matte finish would be done via matte clear-coat)

Edit: Added poll

Edit 2: Picture of what I have to work with

Always go with a gloss finish, it will last longer. Plus a matte finish may turn chalky in time.

I tinted my taillights 3 years ago, and they still shine.
