Black tails/turn signals on white paint?

Does anyone have any pictures of a white max with tinted tail lights and/or turn signal lights?I don't know if I should get clear turn signal lights or not..and I can't decide if I want to tint my tails or not.

Both of those look great. I think the all black would be easier to pull off, so I think I'll go for it. Though the red top and tinted bottom looks very clean.

Thanks for the pics guys.

I don't think it's illegal anywhere though is it? Light output isn't really effected at all from the ones I've seen.

With the nightshades, it will fade in time and you will have to redo them. They also dont have a real glossy look unless you wetsand and buff.
I got tired of continously doing this, so I had mine done professionally.
Also, going super dark is going to kill the output of your tails with just stock bulbs behind them.

The law it would comply with I think is not necessary light output but the rear of your vehicle is required to reflect red from a certain distance, completely blacked out tails don't do this.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty confident.

I had asked a tint place in Jacksonville to tint my tail lights and they said "No it's illegal". Maybe they were just being lame. Iunno I agree you can still see the red really good at night. I have seen tails before though that you could not see when someone was braking very well during the day.
