Tail Light Question

I saw a couple of cars who have black tail lights. I wanted to get mine like that, so my question is, are they purchased that way? or is a tint?

it is called Nightshades, you can get it at advance auto or autozone, what they did is it is a spray can type tint that you can spray as much or as little as you want, to achieve the right darkness, then you can spray some clearcoat over to make it shiny

there might be a write up somewhere about how to

you dont even have to put a clear coat on to make them shiny.. i didnt and i love the way mine look... i can post pics up, from what ive seen the clear coat actually makes them less shiney... but oh well that my opinion... but i can post pics if you want..

as far as looking like them... if you wouldnt want to paint you could get the avs covers that cover the sides of the tails but show the red on the tailights front side.. if you get what im sayin... let me know if you want pics..

You can... though it's not legal... if your state has an automotive inspection they may not pass you with it.

As I've said before... your head/tail lights are the way other motorists see your vehicle... at night or in inclimate conditions. If you black out your lights and get hit by someone... I'd wager on it being your fault... just as if your lights were not functioning at all.

Think about that before you do it.

They are my tails.. (read above...) but technically the can says for offroad use only so no.. but the cops will normally only pull you over for them if you suspect you of doning somthing else..
