I'm not sure on the laws in all states but in Texas, your brake lights only have to be visible within 500 feet. With my 100% tinted you can see them just fine. I've been pulled over several times for bogus stuff (ex.- no front plate, clear turn signal bulbs, tinted plate cover, etc.....) and all have said that my lights were fine. Can't put the blame on you if it's not against the law bro

ORIGINAL: SHO NO MERCY

Black that shiz out...I'm about to black out my heads, tails, markers, and fogs. The blackout look looks so sinister it's sickening.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

that looks bad ***.

i'd say tint them 50% but when you do, get higher intensity LED brake light bulbs. so people can see throught the tinted tail lights

Black them out if you are going for a blackout effect. If not, then leave them stock.

While we're on this subject, how do you go about tinting them either 50% or 100%? Is there a rule of thumb to doing these? I've seen the blackout paint on Amer. Muscle but have never known how to do it so it looks good and match each other when done. Someone fill me in on how you did yours. Thanks!

I'm not sure how dark these are, but I can find out if need be. This car is amazingly beautiful.

on a black car, i'd go 100% if i were going to tint them, otherwise just leave them stock. 100% on black cars looks awesome, so i say go for it.
