Put some clear, cause if you dont they will get lighter with time, brake lights are not the problem reverse light is the big problem, you wont see anything with it.

I have this in my old car and those where the problems i had.

But looks great man.

Thanks, I've got a couple coats of clear on there. I'm doing the other lights next, headlights, foglights, rear center brake light.

Man, that combination just looks sick! I don't think there is another X out there that could pull that off the way you did. Great job.

Thank u very much. Body lift is next!
 






OK I removed the tint tonight, couldnt take not having head lights and brake lights.
I kinda like the contrast of the lights against my colors anyway.
 






That looks cool and I would like to do mine now that my bumpers are black but I think I would feel the same way you do. I am not willing to give up utility for the look.

Yeah and when I see people slamming on brakes behind me probably because they cant see my brake lights its makes me realize I need to do something
 






If they can't see that then they need to pay attention to their driving. Mine are now tinted and show up nicely during the day but are black with the lights off.


I think it will be fine. Seems bright enough to me, What do you guys think?

Just tail lights

Looks OK at night but during the day the brakes are very hard to see ( tested this myself)
That pic is decieving.
And the headlights barely put out any light on the road!
 






A buddy of mine had a Pontiac Grand Prix several years ago with dark headlight covers on it. I rode with him at night one time and it was sad how little light he had to drive by. Looking cool is not worth the frustration that would cause.
