Tinted Tail Lights

I saw these tail lights on a C63s and wanted to know if anyone can tell if they were darkened by applying a tint. film or can they be purchased like that. I know on a Porsche I had, it was an option I chose. Thank you!

Only problem with those taillight tint (beside making others harder to see your brake light) is that those tint film tends to get hazy and dull after a while.

these are LEDs. No one will have any problem seeing your brake light. Also in my case ive seen no hazing etc and ive always tinted my tail lights. This is a subjective area based on quality etc

oh and my headlights are tinted too

Those tints are too dark IMO. Loose all the detail in the housings.

I had mine done in Stek 30% and looks a lot like the darker facelift tails. Much more glassy texture than what used to be available as well so doesn't look like an overlay but part of the lens itself

when you say tinted, do you mean with film or by spraying them?
