Default New mods!

On Wednesday I blacked out all my lights and put in a Street Scene fog light setup, which I still have yet to wire. ?I had the blackout on the tails but had to remove them when I got pulled over 2 weeks back, so I figured I may as well get the blackout for all my lights this time. I love the way it looks, but I unfortunately have to take the tint off the headlights because they are so so dim at night, and I know the police here will eventually get me for it anyways.

Thanks! I also love the way it looks and I'm super bummed it dims the lights so much. I figured it would dim them, but not to flashlight status.

from someone who paints/tints our lights, i can say that its all in what you use to tint and also knowing when to stop....i have smoked all of my lights with an automotive clearcoat/black mixture which still lets out appx 70%-75% light at night and also, during the day, as the sun shines in them they still reflect red through the tails and orange through the front corners to a degree....

Thanks guys, I had t o take the tint off since the headlights were so dim and my fogs still have yet to be wired up. But in a week or so I will be getting an extra set of lights and have my stock ones done by 0NF1R. The extra set will be used as my backup for if/when I get a fix it ticket so I can switch them out to get the ticket signed off then switch back.

bumping this up, got my windows done today. Limo on the back 3 and 18% on the front 2, I am extremely pleased with the look it produced.
