not gonna lie… on a black car, id be all for tinted lights… but…i think the way the stock lights looked… all red, no amber, and white, i think stock looked better IMO at night it wont be a big deal, i bet during the day your going to get hassled, which will lead to exhaust tickets, inspection tickets, etc etc… ---

I figured it would look alright with the dark wheels, dark windows, etc. Maybe I just went too dark, I really only wanted a tinting. I did 3 coats and then clear, should have only done two. ---
