I'd like to see the tail lights tinted also

JustinGTP · 12-23-2012, 08:13 PM

no to tail light tinting. why would you want to make something to help other drivers not rear end you harder to see? and do not say that by tinting them it won't reduce disability, how can adding black ANY percentage NOT reduce visibility.

Also looks ricerish.

PR3CI5N · 12-23-2012, 08:17 PM

Hellz to the no!

techwhiz · 12-23-2012, 08:27 PM

Nope. Buy the darker ones or forget it.

Bimmer07 · 12-23-2012, 08:30 PM

i dont understand why people tint their LCI tail lights. They are just beautiful like that!

Slow_335i · 12-23-2012, 08:35 PM

Honestly I wouldn't do it.

DSB335d · 12-23-2012, 08:38 PM

Don't tint the tail lights... Like others have mentioned, it's difficult for people to see your brake lights.

Dark_Knight_335 · 12-23-2012, 09:01 PM

No no no no no NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Mattshokri · 12-23-2012, 09:15 PM

thx guys.. could i smoke them??
and how would that look?

Bingobimmer · 12-23-2012, 09:20 PM

Definitely no tint but I think a well done smoke job could look good... but I haven't seen it before

calvinwu · 12-23-2012, 09:24 PM

Not in all red tail light~~

StevenY. · 12-23-2012, 09:49 PM

Hell no! Please don't do it. A little smoked would be okay though.

I'm not really sure but I think it's the same thing as tinting it except you use a very light tint shade.

Whole time I thought you were aiming for something like this, that's honestly a no no in my book. If it's something really light, I think it's okay. At the end of the day, it's all up to you though!

ny325 · 12-23-2012, 11:17 PM

BIG NO.

arctic330i · 12-23-2012, 11:19 PM

I hate tinted lights.

Das_Stig · 12-23-2012, 11:29 PM

as long as its really light smoke level maybe, but tinted with proper tint has never gone well on my personal encounters
