I've seen pics of cobalts with blacked out tail lights. How do i go about doing this? do i paint them and if so what type of paint do i use? Also if i black them out will my spiderlites be pointless to have or will it make them look even better?

 

to black out taillights you use VHT nightshades. its for offroad use only but do it in light light coats and the light will still shine through when you brake or have your lights on.

 

what states is this legal? or is it legal in all states?

 

I'm not sure if mine is legal, but i did it. The can does say "for off road use only". If your worried about legallity, just dont put a lot of coats on. I put 4 on and it is pretty dark, yet you can see really well with it. I'll get you pics tommorrow.

 

i'm just worried about inspection but i guess ill deal with that when it comes. it looks sick so its worth giving it a try

 

what you guys think?

 

check out the tint thread in my sig

 

If you want to get picky, I've read somewhere... probably on here.. that some states require you to have a certain amount of reflective red on the back of the car.

Personally, Im not a fan of tinted tail lights... I've almost rearended a few geniuses during the day, because of their tinted tails. They had WAY to much nightshades on.

 

i think i did 6 LIGHT coats.... look in my sig.

 

illegal in california..i know that...course if you just do it like in the above pic, im sure you'll be fine...cops gonna have to be a reeeaaall hard-ass by the book cop to pull you over for something like that...

 

yea i've been pulled over before and the cop didnt say anything about my lights being tinted. he pulled me over for no license plate on the front though so i thought that was pretty funny

 

haha thats lucky as hell Beck...im assuming those are your tails in the sig....black as the rest of the car...

 

oh yea they're dark lol. sometimes a slight hue or red shows through in direct sunlight. honestly i doubt people can see my brake very well during the day. however i tintied "COBALT SS" on my 3rd brake light so it shines bright through the text
