if you tint your taillights then dont like people not see you when you brake?

I almost rearended a Mustang who did this to his taillights. You can't see them when they're tinted.

When driving away from the sun in the evening you have tons of glare on them which makes it even harder to see.

Why would you want to do that?

only if you get tint that dark

i had 38% on mine and when i pressed the brake you couldnt even tell i had tint on them

on the top of my third brake light (just the top), the sun and weather have worn it. The extra tint I have from my windows should work to cover that then right?

I'm not instigating or trying to cause trouble... but then why bother?

Hourofpain · October 4th, 2007, 10:46 PM

im not going that much so my brake lights will be able to be seen.

but continue on my friends.

Maybe for the effect when your not hitting the brakes. The dark look without the light on. But you can still see the light for safety.....

the 38 actually looks pretty good on some cars, especially white , you would just have to see it to understand , if i wasnt so lazy i would find you a pic...

2000Si · October 4th, 2007, 10:56 PM

Oh I've seen it, both in tint and taillight covers, but I just don't understand wanting to darken lights that are there for your and every one elses safety.

Just my opinion of course.
