Light tints

Was looking at getting smoked taillights headlights and fog lights but all the lights out there dont attract me enough to buy so i was thinking of tinting the lights instead... I want a low tint that way i reduce possibility of getting pulled over but still look dark... I want to know where to buy tints for healights ( or anything that would work) that i could buy that is based on percentage of darkness of the tint

What about a wrap/film? All sorts of shades from light to dark on Ebay.

I wrapped my fogs; came out great.

The black tails from an 00/01 SE car are a nice way to add some black while keeping it stock. They're a direct swap into any 5th gen if you get the harness with them.

yep...I was going to tint my se tails so I got an extra set from the bone yard in case I wasn't pleased with the results. however, every time I looked at my stock tails I liked them the way they are.
