Those look so good, I'm about to do that to mine. I hope it'll still look good on a black Max.

i just tinted the top half of mine on my black 96 and they turned out great. and i tottaly blacked them out, not just a light tint. the great thing is with nightshades even after 4 or 5 coats you can still see the signals easily, so safety still isn't an issue. but since you have a white car i would reccomend getting the red/clears. i think clears look better on light shaded cars, and tints look better on dark.

I did the DTM Mod and blacked out the bottom half of my lights. I just had to stick in amber bulbs for the turn signals. They aren't really bright during the day if the sun is shining on them. Otherwise they reflect off the black housing and are pretty visible.



More pics on my Car Domain.

has anyone considered tinting the inside of the lens? that way the lens would retain the stock "luster" and shine. i hate when tinted tails look dull....
