no sry man, i would just paint them though so you can get the perfect finish you are looking for...

pics of brakes for sale?

Have your taillights and markers painted, its the only way to go. I use Xpel headlight protection kit to smoke my headlights, fog & turn signals. It does not change the color of the lights when on and still lets threw a very useable amount of light for night driving.

CutterWolf,

Is that the smoke color from Xpel?

Also if you paint them, how can you not get in trouble at night? Could you post a pic of brakes on in low light? Im curious about getting pulled over

Cutterwolf, your shelby looks freaking sweet. Those pictures should be out of an advertisement. My only critique; it says "Chris 'hearts' Karl" in the background. Just felt there was a certain irony involved there.

Yeah... totally off topic.

It's not the light at night that's bad, it's the light during the day. I can't imagine that you can see brakelights easily during the day with them painted OR with covers. When I have my covers on, I feel like cops give me the stink eye when they catch a glimpse of them. At night, I imagine it's damn hard to tell that I have covers on. God forbid I have a cop following me needing a reason to pull me over...

I've had people tell me my taillights are visible over 1/8th of a mile away at night.

You would be suprise how good they look at night. They are still brite and have like a ruby red color to them. However my Xpel tints for my headlights/turn signals & fogs do not change the color of your lights at all. They let threw a very good amount of light so I have no issues driving at night what so ever.

As much as I like the look of the smoked look of light I would never do it for a few reasons but most importantly if you get in an accident, even if you aren't at fault could be if and when a cop notices the lights. If it's a serious accident that goes to court for damages a good defense attorney will roast you so fast you'll beg for a settlement, of which your insurance co. probably won't cover.
