As long as it's not super dark think it looks good

+1 for the tint. Looks good on the pre-facelifts.

as long as you're not going to the clowns at tint a car on south road...good luck. Smoked tail lights look gooooooooooood

Do it!

this may sound silly but how do they tint your lights, do they simply stick the tint on?

[t.renshaw34]

Well a normal car is tinted from the inside, so I'm guessing they would open up the tail light and do it the same way, but I haven't asked so am only guessing.

I would say they would do it one of two ways, spray tint or tint on exterior.

Either way you would get fecked over by your insurance company

[t.renshaw34]

Why would insurance fuck you over on tail light tint? *confused face* lol

[hamish_023]

Because if you tint your tail lights even if it's light it reduces the visibility of your brake lights. A easy reason for your insurance company to void your claim if your rear ended..

Hmmm good thinking . My insurance company has a list of all my mods though. Ill have to ask when I add the tink to the list.

Fully tinting taillights will cause you to say bye-bye to insurance, they won't pay out because it's your fault the person behind you rear-ended you since they didn't see your brakes.

Best option is the taillight film that Serge bought off me - looks good and doesn't affect visibility.

Not too dark, though - I was leading a BMW cruise the other weekend and I was sure the guy behind me never used his indicators - then I realised they had been tinted to an idiotically dark shade so that they could only be seen on a dark night away from other distracting lighting.

cheers,

The gf got my windows tinted on my car for my birthday, great surprise and the backs are done in 5%, he (tint guy?) said he had this new tint that was still dark in colour but let's more light in than what 5% would prevously, not saying I'm get my lights done 5% as I'm no fool, but for lights it may work (letting the brake light out) I'll have to give him a call..
