taillight tints
yea tint em, just get em done right. the best quality overlays are lamin-x, go to www.lamin-x.com and get clear sidemarkers and smoke them out also
Good choice modding the reverse lights like that, I did them the same way. Looks better than the 05-06 ones and look very similar as the 07-08 ones
I can't stand drivers with tinted lights at all. Isn't that an oxy-moron? However! I am a victim of HID in halogen lamps! In all seriousness, the tinted lights look terrible IMO, and they are a huge hazard. Plus they have a different finish than your car and it shows, just looks akward. If you must why not just get the JDM black headlights?
^ you're talking about a lot of different **** in that post.
JDM lights; those are headlights, we're talking about tail lights. And that name SUCKS (JDM headlights)
HID in Halogens; You're a victim of being beamed by the filthy glare of doom? Or victim of having them in your car?
Tinted tails; they CAN look different than your car, but when done right they can have the same luster as your car and look well matched. On our cars they really aren't a hazard at all, as others have mentioned, we have incredibly bright LED tail lights. Even with a decent tint, they are brighter than 80% of the cars on the road.

so are you saying that the visibility of tinted tail lights are as good as a non-tinted one? lol... AT NIGHT, they are PRETTY CLOSE where i couldn't careless.. but during the day, the difference is very noticeable. does your rice rocket have tinted tails? mine doesn't.
Well for me, when i drive i don't fixate my eyes on the persons taillights directly in front of me. So lets say you put a car in front of me with painted black tails and no light could pass through i would still have enough awareness to see when traffic is coming to a stop. I mean really it's a stupid excuse when you think about it. I've driven behind plenty of cars during the day and night with all types of tinted tails and have not once ever had a problem seeing brake lights. So the way i see it, unless your fixated on the smoked out light ahead of you(assuming they must be double layered limo tint since you can't see light shining through
) then you should have a problem "almost" rear-ending someone. It def. makes the visibility worse, that's a given but to me thats no excuse for someone to "not see" traffic stopping.

^ agree totally. I have, however, seen one car that was so darkly tinted I could not see light when braking in daylight. Black dodge charger murdered out. It was too dark for my taste but I still knew when he was slowing down
