Tailights

Has anyone tinted their tail lights? I'm considering it and wondering if it looks better to tint the whole thing or leave reverse part of the lens clear. 2010 Silver Maxima

I believe that is the way the 2013 model year is set up, lightly tinted with the reverse light area clear. Also Depot makes a direct replacement for our cars that are tinted in that style. They sell for about 90 dollars each.

Will replacement 2013 lenses fit the same on my 2010? I can find them for about $225 a pair which is more than the $150 to tint, but i like the longevity of an OE replacement part

I like the 2012 and up tails. I did the Depo ones. They are holding up nice so far.

I have a 2011, Brilliant Silver.
