    i mean... im not going to do them nearly as dark as i had them 2 years ago, thats for sure. im not worried about the legal aspect of it at all.

    what i am worried about is how they will hold up. Last time i tinted them they barely lasted a few months and dis-colored, oxidized, and cracked.

    dont want to make the same mistake and waste 50$ paying for new tail lights




    thanks man!
