Default 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.

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

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.
