Default blackout stuff

hey i have a 95 gt conv black, and am considering some blackout stuff. i need some advice. headlight wise, can you still see at night with the covers on or do u have to take them off? or would i be better off getting the headlights in that pic? im also worried bout taillight tint. is it even remotely bright enough with brakes applied? drivers here love to rearend people, so im reluctant about that. finally, has anyone used nightshades to tint stuff? hows that look?

the GTS tints are best removed at night, and the rear tints are harder to see at night, but are usually fine, hell your third brake light is still bright. If they rearend you it is there fault (atleast according to the insurance company)

I got some tinted headlight covers and they look great, but you can't see chit at night, even with the fog lights on.. I'll pop them on now and then but I'll take them off at night.. Plus the ones I got put some scratches on my headlamps. No big deal but be aware of that...

You can see the blackout tint pretty good at night on the rear.This is my 2nd set and have not had any problem's with them.

I've got the VHT tint and in the daylight you cant see anything untill i hit the brakes. At night they still light up good also.
