check your local laws. most states require the lens to still be reflective red in the rear for safety reasons. usually cops won't mess with you on it but if they want to be a prick they can.

I'm getting my tail lighst and head lights done soon as well, I live in Broward County and yes they stop you if it's completely blacked out. Smoked out is fine, but not jet black something about the red does not admit enough light and can cause collisions.

if you black out or smoke the fronts i'd highly suggest a set of hids to help out with the light you lose..

Smoked is legal. Most of the ones I've seen are advertised as DoT certified.

I just tinted mine last night, I'm just hoping they aren't too dark and I get pulled over because of it. Just tint them like you want them, and if you ever get pulled over just tell the cops that's how you bought it. They'll probably just write you a fix-it ticket and you can go out and buy a used pair of lights to stick in there for less than $100

Most states require that they be visible from a certain distance away. You also have to remember that we have a red reflective third brake light in these vehicles. Mine are tinted, have been for two years, and if you look at mine next to some other stock cars during the day, mine are more visible than theirs.

Oops, forgot about the headlight issues. I have the tinted headlights in my car as well. I was very scared when I bought them that I would not be able to see. I was right. Even with HID's the light output is horrible. The damn things look good as hell though. It could be that I went from stock housing with HID's in them, to tinted lense. So they just seem that much darker. I would say they are close to stock bulb/lense output right now.
