headlight and taillight tint?

i am about to order it and i just wanted to know if anyone has gotten into any trouble with cops because of it?

i would be doing the blackout for both headlights and taillights...can u still see the brake lights during the day? how is the visibility at night?

I don't think it looks good on cars unless it is the color black-.-..but a kid at my school who has a silver v6 has the tail lights blacked out..he said he can't see crap at night with the head lights blacked out tho. so he took them off..Swerve posted pictures of him breaking at night an day and u can see fine in the back.

Headlight tints are gay, tail light tints are OK i guess, still think they are both gay. Save your money, save every dollar, buy rims.

Swervo has the blackouts for the front and he takes them off at night time. That is probably a wise choice.

your car would look great w/ tints bein its black...

get better bulbs in the headlights and you are set...

the problem with mustangs is that the car is SO LOW to the ground and every ******* you loves to drive those big SUVs headlights shine straight into the car...

Here we have the rich ******** from NYC... i hate those bastards... they cant drive for **** and love drivin w/ their high beams... and they're usually some italian aggressive dick you think they own the town... my town used to be woods, huntin grounds, chicken farms, and nice locals but now its way overpopelated...

ya kno your town is goin to **** when you have 2 highschools and cant even count the elementry schools... VA HERE I COME!

I'm 99.9% sure I picked them up at Pep Boys or Autozone...not sure which one, but either one should be able to get 'em for you. There's usually some listed on Ebay and I believe Summit has 'em too...

LoL thats ****ed up, I'm just across the river in Gaithersburg...

But yeah about the taillights, I just tinted mine, I'll show some pix tommarow I got the 50%...They look BAD *** when the car is off and are still functional during daylight. Thats the only problem with the black outs, you can't see them that well when you don't hit the break, esspecially during the day.

Only move to VA if you're gonna get a lakehouse on SML. My uncle just sold his but I used to go every summer. Otherwise, VA is the gayest state ever, move to Tennessee instead.

I dont even put them on anymore, too much of a pita. I'll only put them on when I go to a show or something. Here are some more pics of the taillights I took this sunday.

Those last two are with the tinted overlays not the sprayed on tint. Also the 3rd brake light isnt tinted.

Here are the black outs. Got them off of ebay for 30 bucks. I think they're wades.
