Right now I have my AFL I'm debating weather a very light tinting would be good.
I'm not on about dark just a light coat.
Thoughts?

I think a very light tint would look good. Pretty sure the SRi models have slightly darker lights. You could always flyeye then if you don't like it easy to remove.

I have some tint spray left so I will do one and see what it looks like and see if affects the light output if it does and or I don't like it I can remove the tint.
As said I was only thinking of a very very light tint.

With the spray I can get a much lighter coating than you can with a film.

i would try that first to see if it works also
a local tint company by me quoted £35 to do the lights and there tint looks very good and light
they showed me a car they had done and it looked very good
