Tinted Tail Lights, They Look Better Than I Tought They Would.

IZZY79 · 05-28-2012, 09:55 PM

Today I Got A Tint On My Tail Lights.
According To The Guy Who Did It, I Can Take The Paint Off Any Time In A Matter Of Minutes and it will stcok again.
So I Gave It A Try And I Really Liked It, Specially When They Turn On.
On The Pictures Its Kind Of Hard To Apreciate But They Look Pretty Good.. You Can Really Apreciate The Details In The Design Of The Tail Light.
On the last pictures I am braking and the lighting looks kind of weird on the picture. But thats all I got on my iphone camera.

I Dont See A Lot Of People With Them In The Forum..

So, What Do You Think?

Very happy with the results.

Honestly I am not sure.

This guy I know in Mexico city came to my office with a bottle with a mixture he does himself of polyester with water I suppose and He very carefully spills it on the tail light. He got the car a bit dirty and then just wiped it off very good and it came out pretty good.
He did all of it in around 5 minutes...

What % tint did you use? 35%??

I wish I could help out with a number but its just a mixture the guy did in the moment.

Its definitly not too dark..

///M-Rat · 06-20-2012, 05:24 PM

Looks great

pinmagic · 06-21-2012, 07:49 AM

Looks nice, but I wouldn't do anything to my car that makes it one iota more difficult for the driver behind me to see me stopping, or that gives my insurance company even the slightest reason to deny my claim, if I'm rear-ended. This does both.

Flame on.

Honestly, I dont think it makes a diference in my car. Its a very very light tint.

But I see your point.

Yep, yours looks pretty light. Some of the ones I've seen are do dark, they're scary.

Yeah, there are some that are very dark. I dont even like the look of it so much.
I like mine because they are subtle.
