window tint, its the all new ghetto rave :thumb:
I have a friend who paints them..IMO NIght Shade just doesnt look that good.
Youre talking about the pop on cover brad? With those they eventually get mishaped from the heat of the headlights and really look like crap.Quote:

bummer, didn,t know that smoked lights are illegal. figures.. anyone know what the laws in texas are on smoked/tinting headlights and taillights? i found a place that sells pre-cut films. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT might try them out if they are legal..
lights have to be visible from 1000 ft. etc...so technically they are not illegal but if a cop wants to jack with you they have a reason..I was stopped twice for mine in 3 years so I fixed that problem
Haha I hear you on that one, luckily I have only gotten warnings so far, I'm sure my tickets are coming though.Quote:

Every since I got pulled over twice (both times were during the middle of the day) I just started running with my parking lights on, it may be a coincidence but I haven't been pulled over again.
Knocks on wood.
Thats why I havent tinted my 3rd brake light yet. That leaves the reflector and there is nothing they can do about the tinted tails.Quote:

I told them that I thought my license plate was enough reflector.

I have tinted 03 tails and a tinted 3rd brake light, haven't had anybody hassle me about it yet, but I don't live in the Communist Republic of Texas either. :) No problems here in Alabama yet either.
I painted mine with clear coat mixed with black to the shade I wanted, them hit it with 2 coats of clear on top of that. Has held up excellent so far.
As far as the covers that go over, yeah I have little indents where the headlights shine, but it doesn't look bad at all, and can't be noticed unless you're RIGHT in front of them. Also provide satisfactory blackness and are removable if you run into trouble with the pigs
