Tail light tint ideas?
I'm trying to figure out the best way to tint my tail lights? What would y'all prefer?
Thanks

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
Those are nice. Would those be able to fit an '08? I can't decide whether I want to just tint them or replace them.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
03-09 so yes. I went for these as the light output from the l.e.d,s is far superior to the stock ones.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
Make sure it's legal where you live.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
Yes it's legal. There are several trucks and cars around here that have tinted lights. I'm just wondering which method is best. Vinyl or spray? Or another option if there is one.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
Not to harp, but just because others have it done doesn't make it legal. I'd check your laws. Some states don't list tint as illegal, but DO say that your lights have to be visible from a certain distance.
And the best, but not cheapest method, would be to have a shop properly spray them. This way, you can choose the amount of tint you'd like. I've seen some go too dark, and then it's a safety issue.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
I understand..isn't there also a tint cover? Like to put over the lights? I plan on putting a recon light bar on my tailgate once I get my spare off and I just thought about tinting my regular tail lights. The light bar will light up the world once I'm braking/turning/and in reverse. So..

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
When I mentioned safety, I meant for people seeing your brake lights. The reverse light is a good idea, though. And I'm not sure if anyone makes simple covers. Haven't seen them. Some places will do a light tint, which would look good but not hurt the brightness too much.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
You can buy the tinted vinyl already pre-cut for the H2 tails on eBay...that's the easy way to do it if you (or Johnny law helps) decide to remove the tint at some point.
I had mine tinted by a body shop that does work for some of the auto 'customizers' here in town. I just asked the shop who did their paint work and they told me so I went to them direct and got it done for about 1/3 the price the shop wanted (tails, side corner markers, rear bumper inserts and DRLs set me back like $100).
Your call on which way you want to go.

I think I'm with you on the vinyl because I can always take it off if it doesn't work.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
Hi the vinyl tint is best to try because if you have problems with tickets you can take it off, the spray on tint doesn't come easy and likey will screw up your lights if it has to be removed.

Re: Tail light tint ideas?
That's what I was thinking..If I go with the tint I'll get the pre-cut vinyl.
