To Tint or Not to Tintt ?

So this weekend or the next I plan on a little tinting going on with my CSS. Gonna be doing third brake light,brake lights, and corners. Where Im not sure what to do is should I tint my reverse lights . Im Silver Ice. Basicly what Im looking for is opinions and pics if possible of full tinted reverse and red only tint on reverse lights. Sadly I have found pics of others with reverse light not tinted but I have not seen pics of a sliver car with it in that fashion.

Tough call I like both. Most of the pics are slightly darker than what I was planning on. Obviously no tint on reverse means no issues there but what about brake lights and tails you guys using different bulbs? Or is it not to dark at night?

Keep them all untinted. Looks better IMHO.

I hate the look of untinted tail lights. The only thing I think I'd like is if it faded to untint. The circle of untint covering the reverse lights looks horrible IMO.
regular bulbs worked fine day and night in my car. The tint isn't too terrible dark. With the light hitting the light cover, you can see a faint of red.

In lights thread sticky they have some nice LED smoked from Ebay im just wondering if they are a bitch to install or just plug and play. Also I wonder how hard it would be to color match my third and side markers with something like that . Anyone got those?
