im in stafford va. ill probably be up in woodbridge tonight at the dicks sporting goods meet unless it rains.

and i havent had any trouble. cops are usually jerks about it if you completely black out the taillights. while these are tinted, they let through a lot of light. plus with our LED taillights, they are actually still very bright through the tint. i dont expect many problems.

they are the tint overlays from american muscle. they were pretty easy to install. just clean the lights. apply a soapy water solution. and apply the tint. then squeegee the bubbles. took about 30 min

Does anyplace sell foglight tint? I know the heat of the foglights would be bad, but I dont use them. I just dont like the color contrast they cause in the grill

Default Fog Light Tint

eBay has a great set of custom cut vinyl tint overlays for 8 or 9 bucks with shipping. They're fine if you want the stealth look but don't use your fog lights. Look great for a show but doubt they would stand up to the heat under use. I rarely uses mine, except to see that they worked when I bought the car. The picture on eBay shows one on and off so your can see if it's the look you want.

The heat from the tint being on actually cracked my Fog light lenses. Luckily my dealer is cool is replaced them.
