    I was curious if anyone had an example of their headlights and/or taillights with a tint on them? Anything helps!

    Don’t. Drastically reduces your lights output and is very dangerous at night

    It’d be better to go with aftermarket black out tail lights and do ths black headlight mod. Tinting drastically reduces light output and tinting headlight can be illegal in some states.

    This!

    Seeing people tint their lights is (in my opinion) dumb. Might as well drive at night with sunglasses on. :annoyed:

    OP I agree with everyone above though. Obviously after market options are either expensive or require you to bake your fucking head lights (lol) so I see why you'd want to just tint them, but it isn't worth the ticket, or much worse, killing someone who can't see your brake lights/you or The other way around.

    An okay aftermarket set would probably be a set from tacomabeast.com

    I like their headlights but I don’t like their taillights for some reason. Does anyone else recommend some others
