Usually, but I would consider having the tails painted instead of tinted with film. The film tends to bubble and doesn't like to hold the contours of the lights. A tinted paint would give you a much nicer and more durable finish.

He's probably referring to my experience. I had them tinted with vinyl at a tint shop and they kept bubbling. Eventually I got a refund for them and got them painted for the same price and they look soooooo much better now.

Here are some pics to show you the difference:
