Just put these in. What do you guys think?

bigigg

Were you able to take the black trim off without breaking it?

fefo25

It broke a little on one of them. That was a pain in the *** to take the glue off.

bigigg

Yea its a pain.. That's why I don't want to take off the spoilers.

valib24

those tips look like theyre squished in there

dynomite05

What did you tint them with?

bigigg

They were sprayed at a body shop.

Think ive seen you around N.Arlington/Lyndhurst. My office is on Valley Brook, and I take Schuyler to and from work.

fefo25

Yes, I'm in that area.

Spec_Davis

looks great!

elibi

No it doesn't. It kinda looks ugly.

I am less concerned with how they look when off than if they are just as bright and visible when illuminated.

Not a fan of tinted tail lights.. actually I hate it. I think of a high school kid in his garage with a spray paint can of window tint stuff going at every lens on his honda civic..

Word!

Too dark and should have left the clear part clear. A cherry red color is always best in my opinion.

bigigg

They are not dark at all, and they illuminate very bright when lights are on or brakes are applied.

Will post pic tonite..

lamonsas

dont like it too much man, and what do u mean u broke the plastic trim? what trim did u break?

encoder

Surely, though, they're not as bright as they are when left untinted.

I've always found this silly and dangerous.

In accidents, 1/100th of a second of reaction time can mean the difference between my bumper stopping one foot behind yours or one foot after yours...

But that's just my 0.02

Sportstick

It's now .04

lamonsas

Lol, can you guys hate a little less. Its really not different at night. Like i said , I will post some pics tonite then you can judge. Thats my 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06!

"Hate" is far too strong. We just don't agree with taking this action. Of all the mods we all do to our cars, tinting or covering lights is the one which, far and away, seems most to discount any concern for everyone else's safety. I've had the chance to sit side by side with lighting engineers who develop these parts, and came to understand the benefits of getting the intended amount of illumination out on the road, for your benefit and for the benefit of those hoping to see you. They are given, by regulation, very specific targets and work quite a bit to achieve them, particularly with changing head and tail lamp assembly styling.

Part of my worry is that you seem to think nighttime appearance is the key. The problem is even worse during the day, when the lights have an even harder time of being seen in the washing out of sunlight.

If you can place a light meter behind your lamps versus stock, and show no difference in lumens, then, great! But, I doubt that, and just can't offer you any encouragement or support for this action. But, "hate"....no way...we just disagree. Best wishes to you and those in traffic around you!

I know what you're saying its just people automatically go by assumption and are quick to compare to something like a Civic! For some reason the brake lighting didnt really change day or night. I also assumed it would be a huge difference but luckily it wasnt. No hard feelings, just forum bs!

bigigg

yes you guys are correct, obv there not as bright as stock.. but there still not that dark.. you guys are concerned about safety, just be glad you dont live in north jersey.
