Where did you buy the tint and the blackout panel? That's exactly what I want to get.
the tint i got off ebay for 14 bucks. they're all pretty similar.


the blackout panel, i'm not sure, it was a gift. it's magnetic.

Just got mine off Ebay and came in today. Im going to put mine on after I wash my car. The tint looks great on your tail lights.

What percentage is the film? 50% probably?

And I'll be curious as to how that magnetic panel works out...several have said they don't work out well...but if it works for you that's probably what I'll try unless I can find a full decal. I don't wanna paint it.

Looks great!

that looks exactly like my lights and i have 50% so i'd say thats probably what you got. I think it looks nice but i think i should have gone darker. You did a great job on your tint by the way, it is not easy task! however, when i did mine i noticed that the crevices inbetween the lights were still red and it kinda irritated me in my effort to darken the back end up, so i went out and bought these:

they don't cost much and they look fantastic. But make sure you buy a tube of some kind of adhesive cause the **** they give you sucks!
good luck with ya lights dont get pulled over!

Is that a separate piece of film for each of the three raised areas on each light?

Looks good man. I love my blacked out tail lights, but mine are the actual covers.

Where did you get the covers? Do they stay on well and fit well? I want to get some but I havnt yet because I dont want to give the police a good reason to pull me over.

Looks good ... I would go slightly darker though, IMO

Worry more about being safe than getting pulled over, as long as as the lights can be seen well enough to be safe, chances are you won't get pulled over. Many, many guys here have tinted their tails to different shades, and I can't think of one that has posted up that they got pulled over for it.

Nice dude.
I think that's the perfect darkness.
