ORIGINAL: AtlanticBlue99

on your car or your lights? car-20%... lights-5% or 2%. remember you can see thru tint with a light shining thru it. if you want it real dark for the lights, go 2%.
NO. yes *you* can see the light through a dark tint like that. but the lights will do jack **** when you need to actually see the road in the dark (especially unlit streets) or you want people to see you (which is more important sometimes than the former). do this experiment: take a flash light, and shine it somewhere. then cover it in really dark cellophane or plastic... see what you see now.....
darkening lights is one thing. but dont sacrifice function over style when its something that important.

my advice...Tint your stock taillgihts, get smoked headlights off ebay, tint all windows including front( I have it done and I love it) and get some black wheels with polished lip...your car will be amazingly clean!
