before:
sanding:
one coat of night shade:
FINAL AFTER 3 COATS TINT AND 3 COATS CLEAR!!!!!!
how'd i do? was my first time ha ha
Look really nice! You should do the reflectors in the bumper too.
i think they look awesome and yeah do the reflectors
Looks good but, you should have sanded all the letters off the lights while you were doing it.
looks really good man, i see you finally figured out how to use it. lol
Looks good, the lights look real dim. After I tinted mine I switched to some silverstar ultra or whatever the bright ones are and they looked really good.
not bad looks good. ud get harrassed alot around here for them but eh. also u have a bulb out in the spoiler should be two bulbs.
It is a pet peeve of mine when people tint their tails without sanding the letters down first, really seems to throw that nice glossy finish off for me. Other than that, they do look good. Decent work.
alex: ya i finally got it lol
wayne: thanks for noticing that cuz i completely DIDN'T!!!! to autozone i go lol
Everyone Else: THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS KEEP UM COMING!! lol
Yup a burnt out third brake light.
And, although they look good... get ready for harrassment from the cops, they're just too dark IMO, and don't let enough light through
ehh, with some of the people he lives around, his lights are nice and legal...we both have an acquaintance that didn't have money for nightshades, so he just sprayed his lights with black walmart paint
backups lights aren't supposed to stay white? And someone can confirm if the bumper reflectors are removable? Not the side one. I'm planning to do mine shortly.

Also this. I did this to my front bumper lights. Looks like the old RK covers
looks good, what kind of clear did you use?

You're concerned about if the reverse lights need to stay white when you're going to be making your tailights black?
That's like being concerned about getting a seat belt ticket when you're speeding.

They would have no chance. Although you may get fined for it, they will always fault the person who rearends, because even if the lights weren't visible, they should not be driving close enough that they can't react with or without warning lights.
Oh really then tell me when when motorcycle going 120+ rear ended me it ended up being my fault according to the insurance companies and he tried to sue me? You need to step out of your little bubble and realize that with the right lawyer and time to push it you can get anything you want in this world. Its sad but true.

what's sad but true is how upset you get over people with tinted tails.

If it was just going to hurt him I would not really give a @!#$ cause its his choice but it not only endangers him but others. Plus the fact that it is a blatant violation of the law. I am all for modding and making cars look good but you have to keep within the laws. Violations like this are what draws attention of the cops to all people that modify cars. I have had my share of mods that break laws and suffered the repercussions just trying to help others avoid the same situations. If you don't like my views on tinting tail lights then so be it call it sad if you want but its not gunna hurt me or get under my skin.

I agree that some are done too dark. Mine look way darker in pics than they do in person. On a sunny day you can still see the lights just fine. I have been pulled over for other things and had the cops look at my tails and even rub them but they have never said anything.
If I thought they were to dark or dangerous I wouldn't do it.

So people that think its safer to not wear a seat belt are right? Just because you feel its safe or not dangerous doesn't mean that it is. If it was not a problem then there wouldn't be laws against it.

If it were such a problem and mine were so hard to see the multiple state troopers that stopped, looked at them and rubbed the lense probably would have said something about them. But, they didn't because when lit they are clearly visible. If someone can't see them when I am stopping my tail lights being factory wouldn't change anything because they weren't paying attention.

They may not be a problem in your area. Or you just have not ran into a cop that does not like them. But I guarantee if I ever see you on the road I will give you a ticket for them and make you tow your car home. I'm just a dick like that on things that are dangerous for other drivers.
