interestingly enough - many late model cars with real bright red lenses are VERY hard to determine when the brakes are on when the sun is shinning directly behind the vehicle... when they are tinted its super obvious...

Yes, I've tested this as well...

When you get paid to deal with transportation compliance - these things are first instinct.

 

Arguing the letter of the law aside, I have been behind plenty of cars with tinted taillights so dark they are hard to see. True they may technically be legal in some states, but the reduction of light output can be obvious in some situations.

But you car, your choices. One might think their lights are bright enough...but you arent the one driving behind you. There are a lot of dumb people on the road that are blind. Legality aside, I don't really like tinted tails personally. I think the trend is so widespread that it cheapens the car. First their were plastic taillights blackouts, then came clear lenses, then next was altezza lights, now tinting lights seems to be the fad of the moment? What comes next?

if they arent LEDs they would be hard to see.... our LEDs are p-l-e-n-t-y visible.

And yes, I've driven behind my car.
