duz anyone think itll be a smart idea to jus take out my tails and put a film of light smoke tint over them?????

has any one done this?.....any pics??

clive

Yeah this has to be the dumbest idea I ever heard!
Try putting a lower wattage light bulb in, dude.
Then wait for other dudes to your car because they didn't notice your lights.

I tinted mine from the outside, but its not a light coat. There still real visible, both during the day and night and Ive never been pulled over for them and I passed inspection with them as well.

I tinted my tail lights from the outside as well. I sprayed on a product called Nite Shades made by VHT. I only tinted the upper part, not the entire thing. But there is no reason why you couldn't put a few light coats on there to darken it up a little.
Here is a link to my cardomain site. Scroll down toward the bottom to see my tail lights.

I hope this helps out. Good luck.

Gahh... tinted tail lights. Next it'll be lace curtains, nodding dogs, and air fresheners.
Only way to go is a good bright set of LEDs to wake up the **** behind that you are coming to a stop. Or spend grief time with a neck brace.
And one more thing: When you get rammed, a smart loss adjuster might very well conclude that your modification of the DOT spec rear lights, invalidates your insurance policy.
Dumbest thing I ever heard.
Oh and for the newbie: take an anger management course.

Clive,
Shut the fawk up already. You have never even seen my tails lit up so how would you know just how bright/dull they are?
Theyve been this way for over a year now and Ive had no issues.

Hey Sleepa, Just Remember If You Use The Vht (which I Did), Make Sure You Count The # Of Coats You Use On Each Piece. I Makes A Big Difference In The Outcome. Hope This Helps

Just put them in a microwave and wait till your kitchen starts smoking, thats when you'll know they are dark enough, oh yeah and I prefer you do this on altezzas they are bright, since they make a mirror reflection.
