tint for tail lights, need opinion...

Postby wyosaint » Tue May 19, 2009 9:14

Im getting the darkest tint available since the tail lights are pretty bright, I would like to show off the LEDs and leave the reverse light open because, well its not that bright and my rear windshield is 5% itsself.

So my question is, is this too tacky?? or should I just tint it all?

I believe it's illegal to tint reverse lights...they have to stay white, I'm pretty sure. But I don't think that looks tacky, anyway, it could be cool.

Melanie send me a picture and I could photo shop them like that for you. If you could also get me one with the lights on so you get an idea of what they'd look like that'd be cool.

I think it looks best with everything tinted except the reverse light.

i like how it looks without the cutouts. i think it looks great if its not too dark of a tint matches the paint and flows better.

+1 I don't like the blacked-out-super-black look, but a nice dark color that flows with the rest of the car looks nice .
