I have the tinted taillights and they are 50%.They are easily seen and light up the same. The covers suck period. They arenotpressed on the light so therefore dont even reflect the full light, only the light inbetween the gap of the cover and housing.

Ive been pulled over for window tint front plate on diff occasions 4 timesand they never said anything about them.

if u do tint them, tint them 35%, 5 is too dark you will have a better chance getting a way with 35%, and its still looks great. im tinting my headlights with 35%

Do the turn signals before the headlights. It makes the turn singals pop out if you only do the headlights and looks bad.

It's about 90 degrees today and I just got finished with the headlights. Tinted em 5%. It's hot as *****. Took about 30 minutes or so to do them both. The first one was kind of a learning experience. If you are thinking about tinting your headlights, make sure you cut more tint than you actually need, you can tuck it or cut it. NEVER cut too less because then you'll be out of some window tint..(or you could use the leftover, if you mess up, for your fog lights or turn signals).

Next I'm gonna try the fog lights. Hopefully those will be quicker, but I'm not sure.

Remeber the tint will restrict the lighting some. Thats why I left my fogs untinted.

I have 38% on my tails and when the brakes go on you can't even tell the difference.

I've been pulled over twice and the cops here never mentioned it... although it 38% is the perfect taillight tint IMO because you don't really recognize that it's tinted.

The headlights are 5% and they are sort of bright enough. If I didn't have the foglights I would say no. My tailights are sprayed and light up only a little dimmer then untinted lights. Can't really tell with the taillights.
