I wanted to night shade my taillights but I herd its a bitch so I called a body shop and ask if they can do it for me and they said no its illegal in FL to have tinted taillights and cops will use it for a reason to pull you over.

sucks so.. just have to wait till I have money buy these or should I just keep my stocks?

 

Never heard that one yet. I know that if you get like clear housings u can get pulled over for that. Likea frosted white.

 

yea that what the guy told me. thous are red l.e.d.s. but maybe your right :/ .

 

ummm duh, most states its illegal to have tinted tails... its not a PITA to do, and if you go light no one will ever bother you

...yea well DOT required red reflectance in the rear or the vehicle, usually done via tail lights, those clearly do not have red reflection and could also get you a ticket.

 

I ask him what if I did a light coat he said he would not risk it, he said he wants to tint his taillights too but too paranoid about getting stopped for it.

that sucks

 

You will be pulled over more with those tail lights as they do ot have red reflector then tinted tails. Tint them like mine, Its illegal here but i have no problems because it still reflects red. Heck i may even sell them to you. PM me

 

...meh I'd risk it, odds are unless you drive like an ******* and they are not blacked out they will leave you be. If you do get in trouble its "fairly" easy to remove the nightshades.

Don't be put off by one body shop guy, do what you want.

I have mine done but they are more "smoked" then tinted so they still are very reflective/bright but just don't have that POW! bright red when you look at the rear of the car.

 

that smoke look is what im looking for, dont want them black. should I just use a light coat of nightshade?

 

then just get a can of nightshades and spray 2-3 light coats on it

 

that might be too dark but looks good thou and love your rims (saving up for mine gun medal chrome and black rims baby 17'')

ok, do clear a coat too? I got some left over from painting my bowties.

 

in the shade

full bright sunlight

Sorry for crap pics but if you spray a light enough coat you wont get pulled over.

 

Most do, it gives them a much higher shine

 

thx I'll order some nightshade this week and post the pics thx guys

sweet thx for the help can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

Ive had mine tinted for months now.... the trick is to niteshade them with a few light coats..... they tll will "reflect red"....... just not nearly as much as usual, but it still sufficies....... check my cardomain

 

Yea the inner ones are cleared... the outter ones in that shot are not...

Currently they are but it shows the difference in shine.

 

yea man i live in miami and been pulled over twice for it

 

really dark tinted lights look great, but your just giving cops a reason to pull you over. don't do it

 

true my coworker had to remove it due to a cop issuing a fix-it ticket and trust me ur lights will look shitty after sanding the **** off lol
