09 Arctic White C63 AMG
best tint for tailights
Hey guys, I have an arctic white c63 and I want to tint the tailights. What do you guys think would look best on white?

- blackline tint (tint the bold red lines and the lines outlining the brake and reverse lights but leaving the lights untouched)
-tinting the entire tailight
- tinting the brake lights and leaving the white reverse lights untouched?

Thanks!

Medium tinted reds for a cherry/cranberry shade and left the whites alone.

Yes
It's not a C63...but I masked off the white for the first couple coats so the white wouldn't be as dark...

Limo tint....8% rear, 12% front side. Best match for the pano roof to give it that single glass continuous look.

And no, haven't been pulled over, even with cops pulling next to me with windows up (Bay area and OC/LA). Lucky

Azn C300's look the best. All black tails with white reverse lights look tacky to me.

Soldiers lights look sick... Im getting this done next week...

I wouldnt leave the White part untinted in a C300/350 (no offense AZN) just cause they dont have the LED's inside so it doesnt look as good IMO...
