i have answered and responded to soo many Tail Light Tinting threads many times after i have did mine. I might have started a new fad? . most likely they are legal, b/c why would they sell normal black outs that you can intall on cars if it was illegal. I didnt do mine too dark b/c i want mine to still look stock, and it does. and it is bad ass!!! , check my gallery for pics of day time and night time.

The light does shine through

You live in Cali, your going to get F'd with no matter what.

Yes and No to being Illegal. It all depends on your states lighting laws. Just replace all the taillight bulbs with LED's and they can't say it isn't bright enough.

For the black tint, what did you guys use? I tried it out with a japanese tinting spray can. Costs 30 bucks. It didn't come on very evenly and didn't look very nice. I was thinking about the GT tailight covers but they are way to dark. I like it to have a little hint of reddness.

 

[Sephroth57]

blue bat, what tinting method did you use on your car. i want mine to look like that it looks really nice and clean

Scorcher?cool,havent seen that over here before.

 

[Derek2003]

not many people have the Scorcher. its not to popular with people. they are great handling tires, and are decent off the line.

The scorchers are REALLY good in the rain. Tread life isn't that good and they are loud. I tinted my tail lights. You can't see the brake lights very good in direct sun light. I had to add a LED brakelight so I wouldn't get rear ended.

i've found that my scorchers are also great in the rain. as for low tread life and being loud.... i dont find that at all, they're quiet at highway speed and are lasting a long time.

Bluebatmobile, I think you should sell Eclipse tail light vinyl things. I like how your Celica ones look. Smoke with a hint of red showing through. Nice!

 

[Blue Batmobile]

I'm planning this and a few others for the Eclipse

[BacknBlack92ESi]

to answer D33A's question, I used Pactra's Racing Finish Window Tint. Got it at a hobby store for 4.95$ a can.

 

[HOOKSH]

Anyone have any pics of 2Gs with smoked tail lights? i dont plan on changing mine, but i was wondering what they looked like, i like my stock ones shaved alot, but just curious about smoked or tinted ones? post some pics if you have em peace

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

The smoke ones look like the stock ones but smoked..

 

[HOOKSH]

[Blue Batmobile]

[HOOKSH]
