they look really good, alot of work for the look! IMO the trim should match the car glossy, but I see u dipped teh rest of the trim so you stayed w it for teh lights. Everybody has their own taste. I like the sprayed taillights just on their own too, they stick out too much on a black car in stock form, only white cars can get away w looking stock on tails

Trim looks great , and the car does look good , but I cannot support darkening tail lamps and cutting the light output.

Now that is a GREAT looking set....















... of matching black cars in the background

Pretty Mrs AskDrTodd too... If/when you ever decide to have kids, looks like they won't ever go hungry

How about tinted tails with AZNOptics LED lamps inside... Less output 'cause of the tint, but brighter lamps because of the LEDs.

I need to find the time to do this. I have the night shades already. That's how I did my side markers. Very nice.

I have those installed. The back up lights are noticeably brighter than stock. The amber turn signals are crisper and look good as they "snap" on and off, but when I had one side done, I stepped back to compare and they are not brighter to my eyes. I have the red brake/running LEDs, which also seem comparable, but Michael suggests the white LEDs with tinted tails to compensate. I don't know how much tint the white LEDs can offset. Bottom line: I have not yet seen a good solution for tinting which maintains OE light output and, therefore, visibility to the car behind.

Agreed. I think Orlando is the most accessible, it's 3 hrs from South FL, 1.5 hrs from Jax, 1.5 from Tampa, 3 from Tally, etc.

And another pic: (pls disregard dumpy area surrounding grocery store parking lot where I snapped this pic)

Well I'm in Fort Myers. I'm around 2hrs from Lauderdale, and about 2hrs from Tampa lol.. So Orlando would be about 3 and a half or 4 hrs.

3) Creep up on breezies at night

They'll never see/hear you coming!





--Edit--

You don't get pulled over for having tail light tints that dark?
