Tinted tails/headlights?

Anyone have any pictures of light smoke colored tinted tails or headlights on their cars? I was thinking of getting some but wanted to see what the light tint looked like.

hmmm.... check out fearmax on cardomain. She has an 05 grey maxima with tinted headlights.

And check out fastmax, here on the org. he has a couple of pics of his car with tinted tail lights...

either way, the tint is a PLUS!~!!

Here's my headlights in 3/10 smoke from bluebatmobile.



And here's my taillights in 6/10 smoke, also from bluebat.


Seeing as you have a black onyx max, i think 3/10 smoke will look great on both your headlights and taillights. Personally, I don't particularly like the headlight tint on my own car because of either the tint color themselves or the color of the headlights because of the tint, but either way it just doesn't look too good next to silver, so I will probably just paint the inside of my headlights black. But I really do think the tints will look great on a black max. Also beware if you don't have HID's you'll be driving with your fogs as headlights.

Removal of Tails

I'm guessing I'm an idiot....and I have read all the How-to's on the removal. But I just can't get the tails out. I pull hella hard, and nothing. I just want to go and swap the bulbs for some red LED's but I'm scared of cracking the housing. Is there a secret I don't know...I've removed the 2 bolts, that's all I see...any thing else??

No, it just takes a good tug, make sure you are pulling on the car matched plastic part as well (the part that lines up with the edge of the trunk if it were closed...)
